About GNLU

Gujarat National Law University, Gandhinagar, is one of India’s premier National Law Schools, contributing towards transformation of legal education ever since its inception in 2004. The GNLU Law Review (‘TGLR’) is one of the flagship journals of the Gujarat National Law University and was launched in 2008, owing to the emergent need for broadening the platform for academicians, professionals, and research scholars to share and disseminate both knowledge and scholarship of new and innovative ideas in legal and allied disciplines. TGLR, under the overall guidance of the Faculty Advisors, is a student- edited, peer-reviewed, annually published law journal that aims at providing a platform for an inter-disciplinary approach towards the study of law. Past issues of the journal contain contributions from eminent legal scholars across the globe.
