John Westlake (4 February 1828 – 14 April 1913)[1] was an English law scholar and social reformer.[2][3] He founded the first journal devoted to international law, Revue de Droit International et de Legislation Comparle.[3] Westlake was renowned for his influence in the realm of legal practice, particularly in addressing the complexities of disputes between individuals residing in distinct legal jurisdictions, a field commonly referred to as private international law or conflict of laws.[4]
