Articles are lengthy publications that provide sustained theoretical analysis on legal topics. It is a comprehensive survey of relevant literature on the chosen subject leading to formulation of viable assertions. Notes are a comparatively shorter version of articles which indicate a central thesis and argument flowing throughout the piece. Case Comments/Legislative Comments keep in tandem with the latest legal developments in the legislative and judicial branches of India. The author chooses a suitably relevant and recent case or legislation (Central or State) to critique upon, in a manner which contrasts the case or statute with the existing legal position and indicates the present and future debates on the topic. Book Reviews critically examine a book released within the two years preceding the release of that particular issue of the NSLR. Movie reviews critically examine a movie, linking it to larger debates in critical legal studies, legal theory and philosophy.
