About the Law Review
The Shimla Law Review is envisioned to be an annual publication, owned and published by the HPNLU, Shimla. The periodical is intended to provide a forum to the judges, professors, research scholars, and students for exposition on contemporary legal issues, apart from the traditional challenges that the legal paraphernalia comes across.
