I. Submission Categories

The RSRR invites papers under the following categories:

  • Articles (5,000 to 10,000 words) - A comprehensive and thorough analysis of issues related to the theme of the Journal.

  • Short Notes (3,500 to 5,000 words) - A note containing brief, terse and pointed arguments revolving around a specific, current issue or issue of importance which may not have received due research.

  • Case Comments (2,000 to 4,000 words) - An academic writing that analyses or is a critique of a recent case.

  • Legislative Comments (2,500 to 4,000 words) - A comment that analyses the objective of the legislation and analyses the legal impact of the same.

  • Normative Law Articles (3,000 to 5,000 words) - These will explore the opinion of students relating to the specific legislations involved in the theme of the Journal.

Arguments must be logical and can take into account aspects such as sociological, political, and economic implications of the law.
