About

Journal of National Law University Delhi is the flagship journal of National Law University Delhi. The
journal seeks to provide a platform for engaging in multi-disciplinary and critical legal discussions on
themes of law, society, and justice. We encourage academics in law and cognate disciplines to contribute
to the Journal by revisiting and reimagining the boundaries of law through innovations in method and
form.

It is guided by an editorial committee and an advisory board, consisting of legal luminaries from around
the world. Hon’ble Chief Justice of the Delhi High Court is the ex officio Patron-in-Chief of the Journal.
The previous issues of the journal are available in digital format through different databases including
HeinOnline.

Submission Process

JNLUD welcomes original and previously unpublished articles, notes and comments, and book reviews
for publication in its upcoming issue (Vol. 9, 2022-23). Submissions for the upcoming issue will be
accepted on a rolling basis till March 15, 2023. As it is important to meet the publication schedule, please
note that this deadline cannot be extended. All submissions must only be made online (here). Articles
mailed directly to JNLUD email id will not be considered. After initial screening, short-listed
submissions will go through a blind peer review process and the final selection will be based on the
outcome of the peer review process.

Important guidelines regarding the submissions:

Articles are typically of around 6000-8000 words including footnotes.

Notes and Comments are short pieces (of less than 5000 words). These have a narrower scope of
inquiry than articles and may include analysis of recent case laws, legislation or policy.
Book reviews are generally around 2500 words. Successful submissions to this category will critically
analyse the ideas and themes explored in the book instead of merely providing a summary of its main
arguments.
Journal of National Law University Delhi adheres to the OSCOLA citation style. Authors are
requested to follow the same.
Please submit your manuscript in MS-Word document format only.
Relevant details of the author and their affiliation would be captured only through a Google Form. The
submission, therefore, should not contain any reference to the identity of the author in order to enable
anonymous screening and peer review. Each submission (except Book Review)) should be
accompanied by an abstract of not more than 300 words and 5 Key words.

 JNLUD is currently unable to accept submissions from students pursuing undergraduate or

would be considered.

be made available on the Journal’s website without any time limit and free of charge.
