ABOUT THE COMPETITION

The Constitutional and Administrative Law Centre (CCAL) proudly invites students to participate in the First edition of National Essay Writing Competition. This competition delves into the timely and complex debate between Originalism – the idea that the Constitution should be interpreted based on its original meaning at the time of enactment – and Living Constitutionalism, which views the Constitution as an evolving document adaptable to contemporary values and societal needs. Participants are encouraged to showcase their analytical prowess, critical thinking, and depth of understanding of constitutional principles. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to an ongoing discourse that shapes our legal landscape and democratic values
