Extra Muros began in 2005 when several 1L students at the College of Law decided that they would like to have a journal of international law. With assistance from the Publications Council of the University, they were able to test launch the first articles online in 2006. We thank the Publications Council for continuing to support our electronic endeavors in contemporary publishing.

The journal is currently the publication arm of of Global Justice through Research, a think tank on global justice issues at the University of Utah College of Law. In addition to publishing materials for the think tank and the results of symposia held at the University of Utah , the journal publishs articles submitted either directly to the Articles Editor (lattinp@law.utah.edu) or through ExpressO, the submission engine of the University of California Bepress .

For the journal, it is our intention to focus on alternative approaches to international law and critiques of those approaches. Critical legal studies, feminism, third-world approaches, neo-conservative, Marxist, as well as multi-disciplinary approaches are several of the critiques of the contemporary international legal landscape that we seek to represent. In addition, we want to reach out to young scholars, L.L.M. and S.J.D./Ph.D. candidates, to bring their cutting-edge legal research to the fore.

We publish primarily online. This allows us to update material as it is edited. In addition, for conference and symposium edition, we will submit our compiled PDFs to an on-demand publisher for ready distribution of hardbound editions through online retailers.

All submissions should comply with the citation and style guidelines of The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation (18th ed. 2000) and The Chicago Manual of Style (14th ed. 1993) unless otherwise excepted below.
