 NLU Delhi National Workshop on “Doctrinal Legal Research” on August 8th to 10th, 2016.
NLU Delhi LL Size

For your kind reference, short details of the program are as follows:

The National Law University, Delhi (NLUD) places considerable emphasis on Legal Research and aspires to be identified as a world class research university. This initiative at NLUD is the result of the realization that legal research is generally a neglected territory even in the best of law schools in the Asian region. Even the creation of the chain of elite law schools all around is largely unable to foster the culture of research in law discipline. The lack of skill and competence in legal research has contributed to the decay in quality legal research. Legal research therefore could not become a source for considering and influencing policy matters, judicial reforms and judicial administration. The grim situation of legal research was the result of various factors. Primarily, the scholars pursuing law courses often do not have enough opportunity to train themselves in advanced methods of research as the curriculum of law courses have very limited coverage of research methodology and that too is available at only courses at masters level. In view of this, NLUD has taken upon itself a task to launch a capacity building imitative in DLR through the National Academy of Law Teachers, an institute set up at NLUD that has already organized a series of training programs for law teachers in different streams
