The University of Calcutta, informally known as Calcutta University, is a collegiate public state university located in Kolkata, West Bengal. It was established on 24 January 1857 and was one of the first institutions in Asia to be established as a multidisciplinary and Western-style university. Established in 1909 under the guidance of Sir Ashutosh Mukherjee, the Department of Law of the University of Calcutta is one of the oldest legal institutions in the South Asian subcontinent.
The Journal and Seminar Committee (JSC) is a student-run academic committee of the Department of Law, University of Calcutta, committed to regulate, facilitate and promote the spirit of legal research, academic writing and substantive discourse within the realm of contemporaneous jurisprudence. Although established by name in 2017, the Committee adopted its Specific Rules on 19th June 2019. Since, the structure of the Committee and its functions thereof were formalised upon ratification of the said Rules. Deriving its delegated authority from the Student Committee Rules of 2017, the 2019 Specific Rules of the Journal and Seminar Committee mandate the Committee’s oversight on the functioning of the Departmental Journal and Blog and provides it with the exclusive authority to organise Lectures, Seminars, Conferences,Competitions and Symposia within the Department. Presently, the Committee runs the Department’s official Blog (Legis Sententia) and has organised a panel discussion on “THE RISE OF CORPORATE LEGAL SECTOR AND ITS IMPACT ON UPCOMING GRADUATES” in November last year and a webinar on “CAREERS IN CRIMINAL LITIGATION” in August 2023.
