Campus Law Centre Journal for Legal and Policy Research (CLC-JLPR), Volume 2

The Campus Law Centre - Journal for Legal and Policy Research (CLC-JLPR) is the annual journal of the Campus Law Centre, Faculty of Law, University of Delhi. It brings together the work of students, academicians, and practitioners across law and cognate disciplines who share the belief that legal scholarship must remain critical, interdisciplinary, and open to reinvention.

CLC-JLPR invites original and previously unpublished work for its second volume. Submissions undergo an initial editorial screening followed by a rigorous double-blind peer review process. Finalised pieces are tentatively scheduled for publication by March 2027.

The journal does not confine itself to a specific theme. Authors are encouraged to contribute on any area of law and its interplay with policy, provided the work is original, analytically sound, and engages meaningfully with contemporary legal questions.
