Call for Blogs for law students by Centre for Business and Financial Laws (CBFL), NLU Delhi: Rolling Submissions

Posted by
  • The Centre for Business and Financial Laws (CBFL) at National Law University, Delhi (NLUD) operates the CBFL Blog to publish the latest business law, financial law, and allied areas.
  • Articles are preferred based on emerging law conflicts, notes about a recent case, recent legislation, or recent legal developments. We, therefore, invite submissions from students, academicians, and practitioners on issues relevant to the areas of:
  • Corporate Law
  • Competition Law
  • Banking and Finance Law
  • Insolvency Law
  • Employment Law

However, these themes are indicative rather than exhaustive, and there is no requirement that the submission falls under the above heads. Please note that the pieces are expected to be analytical, and descriptive articles will not be accepted. Please feel free to submit your article if you believe it aligns with the Centre’s mandate.

  • Presently, the blog only accepts articles in English. We are constantly working with our editing team to allow submissions in vernacular languages.

Plagiarism and Author Agreement

  • Submissions should be the original work of the contributor. All submissions are screened via plagiarism software, and in an event where a submission is found plagiarized, the article will be summarily rejected.
