About CUSRL
The Christ University Student Law Review (CUSLR) is the flagship student-run journal of the School of Law, CHRIST (Deemed to be University). Established with the vision of promoting a culture of rigorous academic research and writing, CUSLR serves as a platform for law students, scholars, and practitioners to engage with contemporary legal issues through critical and thought-provoking scholarship.
CUSLR is a bi-annual, double-blind, peer-reviewed journal that publishes high-quality, original contributions across all areas of law. The Editorial Board is committed to ensuring academic integrity, relevance, and diversity in the scholarship it curates. The Journal welcomes a wide range of submissions, including but not limited to long-form articles, short notes, case comments, and legislative or policy reviews that engage with emerging trends and debates in the legal landscape, both in India and internationally.
About the Volume
In light of the above, CUSLR is now inviting submissions for Volume III, Issue II. This issue aims to continue the tradition of publishing incisive and interdisciplinary legal writing that contributes meaningfully to academic and professional conversations.
We encourage submissions from undergraduate and postgraduate students, early-career researchers, doctoral candidates, academics, and legal professionals. Selected submissions will be published in the forthcoming issue of the Journal and will receive editorial guidance from the Board throughout the publication process.
