Athena [A National Conference Call for Papers]

About the Conference
Law as a subject demands constant upgradation and revaluation to adapt
to the needs of the society today and not be forced to Mould the society
to what the law was when it was made. Despite there being Constitutional
mechanisms to cater to this need, the true spirit of this revaluation lies in
the analysis and in depth understanding by the legal fraternity. The
Publication and Seminar Committee of SOL, NMIMS, Navi Mumbai
wishes to hold a Conference on niche, rather unexplored topics of law
with the same spirit.
It is required that all entries be submitted through the Google Form
attached below.
