I am a blind lawyer from India admitted to LL. M. at @Harvard_Law. I may miss the chance as I couldn't find visa appointment. I graduated from @NLSIUofficial, and was one of few blind Women to submit before SC. pls amplify.

Check out NLSIR Online's new home!

[National Law School of India Review @NLSIRev]

We are pleased to announce that NLSIR Online has a new home - accessible via https://t.co/JugD4dvMXZ or https://t.co/CAvaellM3S

Launched in 2018 as the online companion to India’s oldest student-run law review, NLSIR Online has become a hub for short-form scholarship on India and the Global South—featuring timely, incisive writing from leading academics, practitioners, and students worldwide.

Over the past year, we have expanded our efforts to deepen and diversify short-form legal scholarship in India. This includes:

▪ Showcasing contemporary debates in both Public and Private Law.
▪ Publishing special series on The Legacy of D.Y.C, Courting the Climate Crisis, and Law & AI.
▪ Introducing NLSIR On Line, a series of conversations with eminent scholars and practitioners, including a sitting Judge of the Supreme Court of India.

This transition marks the next phase in our endeavour to platform pioneering legal thought and strengthen NLSIR Online’s role as a forum for critical engagement with pressing questions of law and policy.

I had a conversation with Professor Mitra Sharafi on the use of forensic science to construct the 'truth' in criminal trials, and how ideas surrounding this may have a lot to do with the colonial roots of the Indian legal system.
Do give it a read!

My legislative comment on the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam 2023 - replacing the Indian Evidence Act 1872 - is finally out in the
@NLSIRev. It argues that the BSA is effectively an episodic amendment of IEA masquerading as an exercise in reform!

Part one of two in the @NLSIRev — who to their credit has some of the most patient editors.

Special thanks to Priyam Mitra and Ritesh Raj from the NLSIR Editorial Board for taking the lead on this initiative!

[Barath Arjun @baratharjun_]

Check out our Editorial Board's Introduction to a timely Special Blog Series on 'AI, IPR, and Indian Courts' -- in a world of judicial misadventures, evolving institutions, and underexplored challenges.

The series will be released over the next two weeks.

[National Law School of India Review @NLSIRev]

AI in the courtroom is no longer a distant possibility—it’s a reality. As AI’s presence and influence in legal institutions expands, so do the risks and challenges it brings. Further, traditional IP Laws, centred on originality, authorship, and inventorship, are being tested under a new paradigm.

Recognising the urgency and relevance of these issues, NLSIR Online is launching a special series, entitled 'Beyond Algorithms: AI, Intellectual Property, and Indian Courts.'

Stay tuned!

Check out @saumitrakhullar and my interview with Justice PS Narasimha of the Supreme Court, published at @NLSIRev. It features interesting insights from a sitting judge of the Court, and is the third feature in our brand-new interview series 'NLSIR On Line', started this year.

[National Law School of India Review @NLSIRev]

On 22.12.2024, after the conclusion of the Justice E S Venkataramiah Centennial Memorial Lecture, organized by the @NLSIUofficial, NLSIR's @baratharjun_ (Editor-in-Chief) and @saumitrakhullar (Deputy Editor-in-Chief, Blog) sat down with Justice P.S. Narasimha of the Supreme Court of India for a candid, interview-style discussion. The conversation spanned across a range of topics, including reflecting on the Constitution on its 75th anniversary, judicial interpretation, mediation in India, and fourth branch institutions. A transcript of the same is published below.

A remarkable tribute to one of the most intelligent, passionate sportsmen the game of cricket has seen! @ashwinravi99

[Nuggehalli Nigam @nsnigam]

My dear students,

It’s been a while. Part of the reason is that I wasn’t well. But it took a character like R Ashwin to awaken me from my slumbers. Ashwin retired from international cricket this week. Earlier this year, I read his memoir.
