NUJS Working Paper Series
NUJS has launched the ‘NUJS Working Paper’
series with the objective to bolster the culture 
of legal research in national law schools in
India. This series is aimed at reflecting and
showcasing the active and ongoing research in
the university on diverse legal and social
science topics. This research, published as a
‘working paper’, is not fully refined and fully
polished/finished like a journal article or a
book chapter. It represents preliminary findings
and arguments of ongoing research work and hence
the name ‘working paper’. It is intended to
disseminate the preliminary findings and
arguments of ongoing research for the purpose of
exchanging ideas, getting feedback and
catalysing debate.
