This conference is jointly organized by the Indian Journal of Constitutional Law (IJCL) in collaboration with the NALSAR Centre for Constitutional Law, Public Policy and Good Governance, and the Access to Justice Program at NALSAR University of Law, Hyderabad.
NALSAR is widely recognized as one of India’s premier law schools, known for cutting-edge research in constitutional jurisprudence, public policy, and rights-based governance. The Indian Journal of Constitutional Law, a peer-reviewed publication, brings academic rigor to evolving constitutional dialogues and plays a key role in shaping public discourse on civil liberties and human rights.

This two-day offline conference will be hosted at the NALSAR University of Law, Hyderabad, and seeks to foster interdisciplinary conversations among legal academics, policy professionals, practitioners, researchers, and students.
