ABOUT THE JOURNAL AND SPECIAL ISSUE
The NLUO Law Journal (ISSN: 2348-8913) is the flagship publication of National Law University Odisha published by Eastern Book Company, Lucknow. An annual peer-reviewed journal aims to encourage legal scholarship in national and international inter-disciplinary legal issues. After the first volume in 2013, three consecutive volumes of the journal were formulated as special issues on ‘Access to Justice’, ‘Child Rights’ and ‘Climate Change’.
The last edition was a distinctive and special issue in the memory of legendary Prof. N. R. Madhava Menon. All the special editions focused on topics of substantial contemporary relevance and provided an excellent repository of scholarship in those areas.
The Special Edition of the National Law University Odisha Law Journal [NLUOLJ], on the special theme of ‘Election Laws’ aims to foster and enhance discussion on legal issues related to elections, one of the most exciting, contemporary constitutional discourses
among scholars, students and legal practitioners. This volume aims to extend its scope beyond the status quo, looking into the future of elections in India in a world of breakneck social, legal, political and technological development.
