CLP is the criminal law publication at American University Washington College of Law, and one of the few in the Washington D.C. area. We curate our online and print content to speak directly to practitioners on timely and relevant matters within criminal law. We are interested in publishing a wide range of topics relating to criminal law, especially those that communicate their impact on practitioners.
