From the Editor’s Desk

Season’s Greetings!

I am glad to announce the publication of the Vol. 16 No. 02 issue of the Indian Journal of Law and Justice. The Indian Journal of Law and Justice has come a long way in the last decade, from being a national law journal to being an internationally acclaimed journal and from being a mere print version to having a website of its own, namely ijlj.nbu.ac.in.

We, as a team, shall continue to remain committed to making it a forum that welcomes scholarship from a diverse and global group of authors, whose ideas are at the cutting edge of law and policy research.

Keeping the trend of the Indian Journal of Law and Justice, authors across the globe have contributed on varied topical matters and raised relevant and pressing questions in their papers to enrich the journal. The current issue gives a glimpse into international and national issues.
