The Duke Journal of Constitutional Law & Public Policy (DJCLPP) is a scholarly publication that examines legal issues at the intersection of constitutional litigation and public policy. DJCLPP serves as both a practical resource for lawyers, judges, and legislators who confront cutting-edge constitutional and public policy issues and a forum for intellectual discourse surrounding these issues. DJCLPP aims to enhance the community’s understanding of constitutional law and public policy and to arm practitioners with arguments and proposals for reform.
For the 2019-20 year, the journal will be publishing both a Special Issue in the winter and a general issue in the spring. The Winter Issue will focus on constitutional law and public policy issues surrounding the Electoral College. The Spring Issue contains traditional law review articles, as well as practical or policy related essays, notes, and remarks by practitioners, judges, legislators, students, professors, and authoritative commentators. Authors interested in publishing with DJCLPP should submit articles, notes, and essays via Scholastica or to clj-submissions@law.duke.edu
In addition those issues, DJCLPP regularly publishes timely comments on topical trends and current subjects of constitutional law and public policy online. These comments allow journal members to discuss the implications of current Supreme Court cases.
DJCLPP publishes exclusively online, starting with Volume 9. Previous issues can be accessed here.
