Cfp for law students- CASIHR Journal on Human Rights Practice Volume 5, Issue 2-Last date to Submit 28th October

A legislative act of the state of Punjab established the Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law (‘RGNUL’) in 2006 as a National Law University to meet the need for a centre of excellence in legal education. It aims to serve society through legal reforms by preparing professionally competent lawyers, inquisitive researchers, capable administrators, conscientious judicial officers, and, most importantly, socially responsible citizens who will be fully and continuously engaged in the nation-building process. In order to achieve its goals, the university not only offers a variety of courses but also supports a number of centres.

Following an initial screening, the submissions will be subjected to a double-blind peer review procedure by relevant academicians and specialists.
