- National Law University Delhi (NLUD) is situated in Dwarka, New Delhi. It is ranked second Best Law School in India by the National Institute Ranking Framework (NIRF) rankings and is also accredited with an A grade by NAAC.
- The aim of the colloquium is to bring together Law (MPhil/PhD) students undertaking research within the broad theme of contemporary issues in law to provide a supportive and collaborative environment for the exchange of ideas.
- Scholars registered in non-law disciplines but working on primarily legal issues from an interdisciplinary perspective are also invited to participate. To enrich scholarly debates and enable collaborative learning, the colloquium offers a panel discussion on research methodology on the second day, inviting senior scholars to provide multiple perspectives on current methodological debates.
- The colloquium is structured in a manner that allows students at different levels of their doctoral journey to participate. Senior doctoral candidates can present nearly complete papers, that will be supported by comments from discussants, to help improve their work.
- Another set of sessions will provide doctoral candidates in their early years of doctoral study to make short presentations on their research work to elicit comments from the broader research community.
- To enrich the proceedings, the organisers also aim to reach out to select senior scholars as invited participants at the colloquium. It is hoped that the colloquium will create opportunities and a platform for young scholars to dialogue and sharpen their research ideas, and build research collaborations and professional networks.
- The first inaugural colloquium is formulated in broad terms so as to enable the representation of a wide range of issues currently being researched across the country.
- Given the changing global trade scenario, the environmental challenges due to climate change, the ongoing technological changes that require rapid progress in regulatory architecture, emerging issues in labour rights, contract, competition, and company law, the changing nature of debates on caste, race, gender, each provide a rich tapestry of themes that require rigorous research and engagement.
The sessions will broadly be categorised into public law, private law and interdisciplinary research. The potential themes that can be addressed include but are not limited to the following areas:
- Constitutional Law
- Criminal law
- Law and Markets
- Competition Law
- Company Law
- Environmental Law
- Labour Law
- Family Law
- Law and Technology
- Climate Change and Energy Law
- Intellectual Property Law
- Trade Law
- Public and Private International Law
However, students are invited to send in their abstracts that do not necessarily fit neatly into the above-listed categories. The organisers will strive to build sessions that can capture a wide range of research interests.
