In 1977, the then long-established Malaya Law Review (renamed the
Singapore Journal of Legal Studies
in 1991) commenced a regular section with the aim of recording Singapore's
growing state practice in international law. In time, a South-East
Asian section was also included to reflect the wealth of emergent
South-East Asian practice. In 1997, in consideration of the fact that
the international law articles and regular sections in the Singapore
Journal of Legal Studies had become well-established, the Singapore
Journal of International & Comparative Law was founded in its
own right.
Beginning with Volume 8 of 2004, the Singapore Year Book of International
Law succeeds the Singapore Journal of International and Comparative
Law, thereby completing a process which began with the first scholarly
documentation of Singapore's international law practice in 1977.
