The ''McGill Law Journal'' is a scholarly legal publication affiliated with the student body of the McGill University Faculty of Law in Montreal, Quebec, published by a non-profit corporate institution independent of the faculty run exclusively by students. It also publishes the ''Canadian Guide to Uniform Legal Citation'' (also known as the ''McGill Guide''), Canada’s legal citation reference work. The ''Journal'' was ranked as the best overall student-run law journal in the world outside of the United States in 2010 by the Washington and Lee University School of Law. ==Overview== Over the years the ''McGill Law Journal'' has garnered significant recognition in Canada and around the world. Since its first citations in the early 1970s, it has been cited more often than any other university-affiliated law journal in the world by the Supreme Court of Canada. Subscribers to the ''Journal'' reside in over forty countries across six continents. In addition, the ''Journal'' actively contributes to the development of Canadian legal methodology by publishing the Canadian Guide to Uniform Legal Citation, which has become the standard reference work for almost all Canadian law reviews, Canadian law schools, and courts. The ''McGill Law Journals citation style became the official style for Canadian legal citation by the Bluebook, America's equivalent to the McGill Guide, before the first edition of the Canadian Guide to Uniform Legal Citation. Students of the Faculty of Law of McGill University founded the ''McGill Law Journal'' in 1952, led by Founding Editor-in-Chief Jacques-Yvan Morin. From that founding, the ''Journal'' has promoted the development of legal scholarship by appealing to an audience that includes professors of law, practicing lawyers, and law students. Given that the Province of Quebec is a jurisdiction where the legal traditions of common law and civil law intersect in matters of private law, the first editors of the ''Journal'' immediately appreciated its potential as a catalyst for the development of civilian legal scholarship published in English. The ''Journal'' is recognized as an important forum〔http://www.newcastle.edu.au/Resources/Faculties/Faculty%20of%20Business%20and%20Law/Research/Funding/LawjournalrankinglistMar08v3.pdf〕 for the critical analysis of contemporary legal issues in the realms of public law and private law, as well as international law. The ''Journal'' is a bilingual publication. The editorial team includes both francophone and anglophone students tasked with the selection of articles and their preparation for publication. The ''Journal'' publishes a variety of articles pertaining to the civil and common law traditions in both of Canada's official languages. Part of its mandate is to contribute to the development of legal research that is comparative or transsystemic in nature. Similar to its American counterparts and unlike many of its Canadian competitors, the ''McGill Law Journal'' is entirely student-run. In order to ensure the quality of its content, all manuscripts selected for publication are peer reviewed by scholars from Canada and around the world using a double-blind system. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「McGill Law Journal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
