Student Committee for Constitutional Law and Human Rights | Call for Blogs

About the Blog: 

The SCLHR Blog is a peer-reviewed and open-access blog maintained by the Student Committee for Constitutional Law and Human Rights. We at SCLHR seek to provide a platform that promotes and sustains informed discussion and dialogue on emerging issues in Constitutional Law and Human Rights. We further welcome original contributions from students, researchers, academicians, legal practitioners, and those who are enthusiastic to engage in academic discourse and widen the scope of the Constitutional study for our readers through their creative and informative research works. Keeping the objective of our society, we highly encourage our authors to explore critical and multidisciplinary perspectives on Constitutional developments in and beyond India. Hence, with the above objectives in mind, we welcome all submissions on the field of Constitutional Law and Human Rights subject to the following guidelines.

Broad Themes: 

The SCLHR Blog invites contributions on contemporary issues surrounding Constitutional Law and Human Rights including but not limited to the following:

  • Emerging Challenges to Freedom of Expression in the Digital Age
  • Constitutionalism in Times of Crisis: Lessons from Global Events
  • Environmental Rights and International Frameworks
  • Gender, Choice, and the Law: Examining Reproductive Rights and Bodily Autonomy in India
  • Balancing Public Security and Civil Liberties: Recent Developments
  • Contemporary Developments to the Rights of Migrants and Refugees
  • Ensuring free and fair elections
  • Safeguarding Liberty: Striking a Balance Between National Security and Checks and Balances

The submissions must attempt to exhaustively explain their topic within the limit of 1500-2000 words. However, depending upon the quality and depth of research and its expression, relaxation may be given and the word limit may vary. Therefore, it is recommended to refrain from using a broad topic and to choose a specific one.

Editorial Guidelines: 

  • Each submission shall undergo two rounds of the review process by the Editorial Board for publication which are formative and substantive.
  • About four weeks will be taken to review a submission. Once the review is completed, the author may receive comments suggesting changes to content, style, or structure. Authors should be prepared to make suitable changes to their articles as required by the Editorial Board before publication.
  • Please follow up if you do not hear from us within four weeks of the submission of your manuscript.
  • The Editorial Board strives to provide substantive feedback for every submission that is received. However, it may not always be possible to do so considering a large number of submissions.
  • A submission in consideration at the SCLHR Blog must not concurrently be in consideration elsewhere.
