Call for Papers: Comparative Constitutional Law and Administrative Law Journal, NLU Jodhpur [Vol. 10, Issue II]

The Comparative Constitutional Law and Administrative Law Journal (CALJ), ISSN 2582-9807, is the flagship peer-reviewed journal of the Centre for Comparative Constitutional Law and Administrative Law (CCAL), established under the patronage of the Vice Chancellor of National Law University, Jodhpur. The journal is published bi-annually and is guided by an Advisory Board that includes former CJI M.N. Venkatachaliah, Senior Advocate Rajeev Dhawan, Senior Advocate Dr. Menaka Guruswamy and Professor Timothy Endicott, among others.
