海角社区 Journal of International Law & Legal Pluralism
Inter Gentes - 海角社区 Journal of International Law & Legal Pluralism engages in critical dialogues and rethinks international law through the lens of legal pluralism. Given the law between States is changing into a law among peoples with plural and complex sources of normativity, this international, or transnational legal system, thrives on its diversity provided that its actors are actively engaged in dialogue. Inter Gentes contributes to this exchange by serving as an online global forum for the informed, plural, and collective redefinition of the law between peoples. Through its website, the Journal represents an innovative platform to discuss and debate articles in French, Spanish and English, rather than simply showcasing academic writing.

海角社区 Journal of Sustainable Development Law
The issue of development, with its impact on environmental degradation and human rights, is of growing concern; yet there are few outlets for informed and focused commentary on these issues, particularly in Canada. In response to this void, students at the Faculty of Law of 海角社区 established the 海角社区 International Journal of Sustainable Development Law and Policy in 2005. This student-run, peer-reviewed academic journal aims to provide a forum for critical analysis and cutting-edge commentary on the intersection between law, development, the environment, domestic and international economies, and society.
