EDITORIAL NOTE

As the world still reels with the global pandemic, the Indian Journal of Law and Justice (ISSN-0976: 3570) proudly steps in its eleventh year. Over the past ten years, the journal has strived to contribute to the academic discourse surrounding legal and multi-disciplinary issues in the Indian Sub-continent as well as globally by publishing articles by both students and established scholars, as well as domestic and international authors.

Already recognized by the UGC and included as a CARE-Listed Journal, the Indian Journal of Law and Justice, since 2019, has achieved the feat of being acknowledged by the internationally acclaimed online database and journal, HeinOnline. Anyone with a subscription of HeinOnline, now can access the Indian Journal of Law and Justice.

IJLJ welcomes articles that promote a better understanding of legal phenomenon and legal decisions made by judges, courts or regulatory agencies. Theoretical papers are welcome, provided they have a strong basis in law and allied social issues. We also accept case studies as well as empirical analyses – including empirical investigations. While IJLJ does not favour any particular topic, it does have a focus on new and emerging problems. Themes and issues based on Indian Sub-Continent as it is felt important to exploit the sub-continent’s considerable institutional diversity in order to build a more robust body of theory and empirical evidence. However, we do not wish to confine ourselves to the above; the purpose of the journal is also to showcase the diversity of legal issues as supplied by an international mix of authors.
