About the Journal
The Journal of Law Teachers of India was started by the faculty members of the Law Centre – I, Faculty of Law, University of Delhi, to encourage socially significant research work in law by serving as a worthy platform for their readership. The first volume of the journal was published in 2010, wherein the then chief editor, Prof. Ashwini Kumar Bansal, on the purpose of JOLT-I wrote: ‘the legal research we conduct, lead or assist should serve humanity and should be done with humility, and that is our purpose’. The statement continues to be a gentle reminder for future generations of teachers of law to keep their research grounded in social need. The title of the journal signifies that a law teacher can come from diverse backgrounds and may not necessarily be the one who professionally teaches law. They could be academicians, lawyers, jurists, judges, or policy makers. Hence, JOLT-I encourages everyone who attempts to delve into the journey of knowing law, what its purpose and nature are in the context of the dynamism attached with it and wishes to contribute to enrich the existing legal literature by their research and writing work, irrespective of their professional background.
