Formal Digital Editions
​
The CLR welcomes full-length law review articles in our formal digital editions, published twice per year (once in December and once in May). This year, our topic for the Fall edition is the Supreme Court’s recent decision regarding universal injunctions in Trump v. CASA and its potential impact. This topic is intentionally broad. Papers may
address (but are certainly not limited to) the following questions:
1. How will the Supreme Court’s decision affect other areas of public interest litigation, including
religious liberty, property rights, and Second Amendment cases?
2. How will the Supreme Court’s focus on English legal history affect equitable remedies more broadly?
Are other remedies currently used by the federal courts potentially unlawful under this standard?
3. Are universal injunctions truly gone? And if not, what might replace them?
4. Does the Supreme Court’s ruling apply to the challenges to President Trump’s tariffs?
5. Does the All Writs Act authorize “provisional” class action certifications without undergoing the
procedures of Rule 23?
6. How should federal courts distinguish universal injunctions from injunctions that grant incidental relief
to non-parties?
The length of papers may vary depending on the subject, but we ask that all papers be at least five pages and no longer than thirty, follow current Bluebook formatting, and use 12-point Century Schoolbook font with double-spacing. All papers should be submitted through the form attached below no later than November 1, 2025, and we promise an answer on whether the paper will be published within two weeks of the date of submission.
Once the editing process is complete, we anticipate publishing all accepted papers together as a single edition in mid-December. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to the CLR’s Editor-in-Chief, Maclain Conlin, at maclaic@clemson.edu, or Dr. Eric Daniels, the CLR’s Faculty Advisor, at edan@clemson.edu.

No undergraduate students may submit an article to the Forum section (if you are a non-CLR undergraduate student and would like to submit an article, please see our "Student Notes" section below).
