The NLUA LAW & POLICY REVIEW (NLUALPR), is peer reviewed Journal published bi-annually by the National Law University Assam, Guwahati. It is a faculty run bi-annual Refereed Journal whose primary objective is to serve an important academic forum for legal scholarship. The NLUALPR will promote reflective thinking by providing a socially relevant legal knowledge. This review is an earnest attempt to provide an effective research tool by sparking scholastic conversation among a diverse group of academicians, judges, jurists, practitioners, students, activists, scholars and prominent thinkers.

The review will publish scholarly articles, comments on recent decisions by courts, short notes, legislative analysis and solicit reviews of latest books from renowned connoisseurs of law.

All submissions will undergo a rigorous editorial process devised to hone and strengthen tone and substance.

NLUA Assam welcomes contribution for the First Volume of the NLUA Law & Policy Review from academicians, judges, jurists, practitioners, students, activists, scholars and prominent thinkers across the globe.

 Submissions must be emailed at (nlualpr[at-the-rate-of]nluassam[dot]ac.in) or (nlualpr[at-the-rate-of]gmail[dot]com) (preferably in .docx format) alongwith a covering letter addressed to Dr. Naresh Kr. Vats (Editor, NLUA Law Review Publication Committee 2015-2016). The covering letter should include the author’s contact information and a short abstract (250-300 words) that outlines the main questions or themes addressed in the paper.

All submissions will go through an initial round of scrutiny and shortlisted contributors will be informed by July 20, 2015. We are exploring the possibility of organizing a writers’ workshop if we receive a sufficient number of quality submissions. Please note that we will make the final selection of contributions on the basis of comments received from external reviewers. We will expect the selected contributors to incorporate this feedback. We aim to publish this issue in August 2015. A hard copy of this issue as well as a letter of acknowledgement will be sent to each contributor.
