African Journal of Legal Studies

The African Journal of Legal Studies (AJLS) is a peer-reviewed interdisciplinary journal published by Brill and the Center for International Law and Policy in Africa.

With the support of the Dean of the College of Law, the AJLS and FIU Law have created opportunities for FIU Law students to participate in the work of the journal. This small and highly talented group of graduate students contributes to the work of journal under the supervision of Professor OseiTutu.

In their roles as assistant editors, the students are engaged with the work of the journal in various stages of the publication process, including drafting documents, streamlining processes, contacting peer reviewers, reviewing citations, and editing articles for conformity with the AJLS standards.
