About the Journal

The Journal of National Law University Delhi is the flagship journal of National Law University Delhi. It is a general, double-blind peer-reviewed journal that publishes original articles in all branches of law, along with separate sections devoted to recent developments in the legislative, judicial and policy fields, case comments and book reviews.

They encourage academics in law and cognate disciplines to contribute to the Journal by revisiting and reimagining the boundaries of law through innovations in method and form. It is guided by an editorial committee and an advisory board, consisting of legal luminaries from around the world.

The Hon’ble Chief Justice of the Delhi High Court is the ex officio Patron-in-Chief of the Journal. The previous issues of the journal are available in digital format through different databases including Hein Online.
