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!

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.
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!

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.
