In the spring of 2006, the International Judicial Academy, in partnership with the American Society of International Law, began publication of an on-line judicial magazine, the International Judicial Monitor. The International Judicial Academy assumed primary responsibility for the publication of the International Judicial Monitor in 2008. This publication is published four times a year. Each issue has regular features, including the following:
