YJIL has hosted various symposia at Yale Law School, including:

* The “New” New Haven School of International Law (2007)
* Nation-Building in the Middle East (2005)
* Reflections on the International Court of Justice’s Oil Platforms Decision (2004)
* Current Pressures on International Humanitarian Law (2003)

YJIL, through its partnership with Opinio Juris, occasionally hosts online symposia centering on scholarly conversations on articles published in the journal. Opinio Juris is a widely-read weblog, authored by numerous professors of international law, dedicated to providing a forum for informed discussion and lively debate about international law and international relations.

In addition, YJIL occasionally hosts a Young Scholar’s Conference at which law students from Yale and throughout the United States present scholarly pieces that they have written and are seeking to publish. Invitees to the conference are selected through a competitive application process managed by the journal.

In April 2009, Yale Law School hosted a conference in honor of Professor W. Michael Reisman ’64 LL.M., ’65 J.S.D. entitled “Realistic Idealism in International Law.” YJIL has published selected proceedings from this conference in its Summer 2009 issue.
