Posted by TNNLU’s CLS Blog is a forum created by the Constitutional Law Society with the goal of expanding the conversation surrounding current constitutional law problems. Their goal is to give academics a place to contribute to this increasing conversation while also ensuring that these topics are intelligible and accessible to everyone.
Submissions primarily relating to constitutional law are accepted, although interdisciplinary themes are welcomed and actively encouraged as well. This is in line with their mission to raise knowledge about all areas of constitutional law and how it intersects with other fields of study.
