Our Mission
The JGJPP is Regent University School of Law’s premier academic journal presenting original legal research related to the study of international human rights and public policy. The JGJPP provides an academic forum for the integration of Christian perspectives.
The JGJPP features articles, notes, case comments, and book reviews submitted by prominent authors, practitioners, and students. The JGJPP actively solicits manuscripts that address international law, global justice, the rule of law, public policy (foreign and domestic), international relations and diplomacy, comparative law, and decisions adopted by the European Court of Human Rights, the International Court of Justice, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, and the International Criminal Court.
The JGJPP is committed to publishing interdisciplinary scholarship critically analyzing the significant social challenges and the persistent legal issues affecting the marginalized, disenfranchised, indigent, and abused, and works in association with the Center for Global Justice, Human Rights, and the Rule of Law.
Our History
The JGJPP was established in 2014, and is the successor to two former Regent University School of Law journals, which subsequently were coalesced: Regent Journal of International Law (RJIL) and Regent Journal of Law and Public Policy (RJLPP).
RJLPP was established in 2009. RJLPP’s purpose was to provide an alternative publication for academics, attorneys and law students who were interested in examining the formation and consequences of legally-binding public policies due primarily to judicial opinions and court precedents.
RJIL was established in 2003. RJIL’s purpose was to consider how the transcendent principles of justice have influenced the modern enforcement and development of international law––especially the natural and normative theories of international law in the second-half of the twentieth century that gave rise to the international human rights movement.
