ABOUT THE REVIEW

NLUJ Law Review is the flagship journal of National Law University, Jodhpur. It has been
established with the objective of promoting legal research. The Review seeks to provide a
platform to analyse and encourage a meaningful discussion on the various facets of
contemporary legal and policy-related issues, whether national or international.
It is a bi-annual, double-blind student reviewed, and student-edited journal focusing on an interdisciplinary approach towards legal writing.

NATURE OF SUBMISSIONS
We welcome submissions under the following categories
A. Articles (6000 - 10000 words, including footnotes)
The articles category is designed to include works that comprehensively deal with and
provide a sustained analysis of various legal topics. The contributor is encouraged to
undertake a study of emerging issues and the progress of legal reform in that area.
All articles should be accompanied by an abstract not exceeding 250 words.

B. Essays (4000-6000 words, including footnotes)

In an essay, as compared to an article, the contributor may have more liberty with respect to
the content. More than the comprehensive study of the law involved, the issues must be
addressed from a new perspective providing a critical insight.
All essays should be accompanied by an abstract not exceeding 250 words.
C. Short Notes and Comments (3000 - 4000 words, including footnotes)
An important feature of the Review is the Notes and Comments section, in which the
contributors analyse recent judicial decisions, new legislations, and current law reform
proposals.
Short notes should be accompanied by an abstract not exceeding 200 words. No abstract is
required for Case Comments/Legislative Reviews.
D. Other Submissions (1500-3000 words, including footnotes)
The Review will also assess submissions which do not fall under the above-mentioned
categories. This may include Book Reviews, responses to earlier publications or any other
matter of practical importance.
No abstract is required for Book Reviews or other such submissions.
