Call for Papers 2024
The Journal Committee of School of Law, Galgotias University hereby invites Articles / research papers, case studies, and book reviews on the contemporary topics of law and allied inter-disciplinary subjects for publication in the GJLS 2024 Vol. XII, Issue No. 1. The journal is a peer reviewed ISSN No. 2321- 1997 publication from School of Law, Galgotias University. It showcases contemporary issues and challenges specific to law, with an inter-disciplinary approach towards assimilating knowledge. It is an endeavor of the Institute to become the beacon of legal education by encouraging synthesis of knowledge and best practices cutting across the academia and research fraternity.
The dynamics of socio-legal, political and economic changes taking place in the global scenario has brought symmetric changes in the hitherto existing legal paradigms. As a natural sub-theorem, it has led to new scholastic inducements for in depth analysis in the sphere of law. Matching the pace, our journal GJLS strenuously endeavors to assimilate changing legal perspectives both in native and global context and intends to impel intellectual fraternity to address some of the pressing legal issues which bother the civil society. Beginning from a wall and web-journal, we have published in volumes of the journal which is the testimony of our principled effort.
The Editorial Board of GJLS is committed to constantly upgrade the quality of journal and incessantly continues to propel itself to accomplish its well-cherished objective to become a reputed journal benefitting the law students plus academicians in particular and society in general.
