First Annual Socio-Legal Review (SLR) Workshop

The Socio-Legal Review, a student-run journal at NLSIU, is delighted to announce the 1st Annual SLR Workshop. Through this initiative, SLR hopes to further the understanding of its aims and scope, and more broadly the meaning of “socio-legal” literature. The workshop will also provide practical and useful guidance on how one may contribute to the SLR Journal or Forum (or socio-legal literature in general).

SLR is a peer-reviewed, bi-annual journal that encourages interdisciplinary research at the intersection of law and social sciences. SLR is an open-access, student-run journal published by the National Law School of India University (NLSIU), Bengaluru.

Design of the Workshop

The speakers for this edition will be Prof. (Dr.) Saurabh Bhattacharjee and Prof. (Dr.) Sushmita Pati. The workshop will begin with a discussion on what really separates socio-legal research from purely doctrinal (or other forms of) traditional legal research. This would be followed by a practical demonstration through a pre-circulated paper and an exercise on how an author can design a research proposal. Members of the SLR Editorial Board will also discuss SLR’s Submission Guidelines and Editorial Policies and things to look out for while submitting to SLR. The session will be followed by a Q&A round.

Format

The Workshop is open-to-all, and will be taking place from 3PM-5PM on 13th January 2024 (Saturday) in virtual mode.
