Posted by The International Journal of Comparative Legal Studies (IJCLS) is an open access, peer-reviewed journal which is formed to provide a platform for academicians to express and contribute towards framing better laws in the dynamic Indian Society. The Journal draws its inspiration from the very nature of human intellect which learns everything by dissection and comparison. A comparison is the only way the intellect can know, so the comparison is the very basis of creating better-suited laws for our society. The journal is aimed at breaking beyond the limitations of logic and creating a legal environment that is favorable for all and in tune with the ultimate vision of the forefathers of the Indian Constitution.
