Student Editor-in-Chief: Laura Daly
Family Court Review (FCR) is a peer-reviewed, quarterly journal published under the auspices of the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts (AFCC). Family Court Review is an international, interdisciplinary family law journal -- a forum for the exchange of ideas, programs, research, legislation, case law and reforms. The journal's editorial staff, under the direction of Faculty Editor-in-Chief Andrew Schepard, is based at the Law School. Its fundamental premise is that productive discussion of family law is facilitated by a dialogue between the judiciary, lawyers, mediators, mental health and social services communities. AFCC is an interdisciplinary, international association of judges, counselors, evaluators, mediators, attorneys and others concerned with the constructive resolution of family conflict.

At the end of each year, students are selected as members of the editorial staff of Family Court Review through a writing competition conducted in cooperation with the Hofstra Law Journals. Special consideration is given to students who are seriously interested in family law and family dispute resolution.

Journal of International Business and Law (JIBL)

E-mail: jibl@hofstra.edu
Editor-in-Chief: Paul Sudentas
The Journal of International Business and Law (JIBL) is a student-run publication that explores the interaction of business and law in the global marketplace. As the legal and business worlds collide in a global business dynamic, there exists a need for wide-ranging scholarly debate and critical thinking on a broad range of topics that is crucial to both practitioners and academicians. Through research and publication in these fields, JIBL aims to bridge the gap between law and business in international corporate and entrepreneurial matters. As a publication produced by students of the School of Law and the Frank G. Zarb School of Business, JIBL draws on the different perspectives of its members to provide a greater understanding of the ways that different disciplines intersect in practice.

At the conclusion of each year, JIBL selects staff members on the basis of grades and a writing competition conducted in cooperation with the Hofstra Law Review. Staff members are required to take a course related to International Law during the Fall of Spring semester of their first year as a part of JIBL.
