Law School Workshop Series: Session #3

The Law School Workshop Series – organized by the Jurisprudence and Political Philosophy Discussion Group, NLSIU in association with Kautilya Society (NLSIU-chapter) – will be hosting workshops to develop working papers in legal and political philosophy. In the workshop, a paper and a response to this paper will be presented to initiate group discussion of the same. The lead discussant will then shares their thoughts and comments on the structure of the article – followed by an open discussion of the nuances and substantive content of the paper.

The initiative aims to promote a culture of research and writing among law students. We invite students, academicians, and faculty members to read the papers and share substantive and constructive comments with the authors in the sessions.
