Pith & Substance: The CCAL Blog is a recent initiative of the Centre for Comparative Constitutional Law and Administrative Law, NLU Jodhpur, to enhance and contribute to discussions on current issues in constitutional law and administrative law.
Professor Poonam Pradhan Saxena, Vice-Chancellor of National Law University Jodhpur, has established the Centre for Comparative Constitutional Law and Administrative Law. The Centre publishes its flagship Journal and Blog under the supervision of our Director, Professor I.P. Massey, and members of the Advisory Board, including Former CJI M.N. Venkatachaliah, Senior Advocate Rajeev Dhawan, Senior Advocate Menaka Guruswamy, and Professor Timothy Endicott, among others. We hope to create a forum for scholars, students, and legal practitioners to discuss constitutional and administrative law issues.
