Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

What Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution does

The Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution is a student-edited academic law journal founded in 1998 and operated within the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University in New York City. It is described as the country's preeminent legal journal of arbitration, negotiation, mediation, settlement, and restorative justice, and is the longest-running student-edited journal dedicated exclusively to dispute resolution. The journal publishes three issues per year (Fall/Winter/Spring) and has reached Volume 27 as of 2025–2026, maintaining continuous publication for 27 years. Its core products include the peer-reviewed print journal, the open-access CJCR Blog for timely commentary, the annual Melnick Symposium on current dispute resolution topics (supported by founding editor Jed D. Melnick since 2012), and the International Advocate for Peace (IAP) Award presented annually since 2000 to distinguished figures in conflict resolution.

The journal's business model is non-commercial and academic. Revenue derives from individual one-year subscriptions priced at $35 (covering three issues annually) and from institutional subscriptions distributed through HeinOnline's Law Journal Library. Manuscript submissions are accepted on a rolling basis via email or the Scholastica platform, with articles typically running 25–35 pages in Bluebook citation format. Customer segments include legal scholars and academic researchers specializing in dispute resolution, professional mediators and arbitrators, law students (particularly at Cardozo School of Law who serve as editors), and law libraries and institutions accessing the journal through HeinOnline. The journal is affiliated with the Kukin Program for Conflict Resolution at the law school and operates without separate legal entity status, embedded within the parent institution's academic structure.
