Competition Forum

ABOUT RSRR-

RGNUL Student Research Review (RSRR) is a bi-annual, student-run, blind peer-reviewed legal journal based at Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law, Punjab.We have been publishing the academic RSRR journal in association with the Eastern Book Company since 2014.

The Editorial Board invites submissions for the Volume 5, Issue 1 from academicians, practitioners, legal luminaries and students on the topic Metamorphosis: From An Extensive To An Evolutionary Constitution.

BACKGROUND-

The concept of Transformative Constitutionalism materializes at two levels. On one level, Transformative Constitutionalism facilitates the idea that the Grundnorm of the land itself is an evolving document. And this transformation is brought about either by an enactment amending the Constitution according to the needs and exigencies of the milieu, or by a new interpretation given to the letter of the Constitution by the courts in order to bring it in conformity with its spirit. On another level, this transformative document becomes a catalyst of societal change. It induces a change in the social and political institutions of a country towards a democratic, participatory and egalitarian direction.

– Articles (5,000 to 10,000 words)
