Objectives

Each volume of JOLT-I is published after a careful and systematic review of the submissions. We give a higher degree of importance to the choice of legal issues each submission brings before us. 

The aim is to encourage legal researchers to identify critical situations prior to their emerging as a legal crisis or a problem for a legal system or the international community, and to initiate early discussions on such situations. 

We choose to publish scholarly legal research work of Indian as well as foreign scholars, with the aim to provide a valuable reading experience to policy makers, professionals, as well as students of law and to further encourage critical legal thinking ahead of these published research works. 

In particular, understanding the pressing necessity of ‘development of law’ to proceed in the right direction, we now encourage writings which adopt an ‘eco-centric approach’, to explore contemporary legal issues of social significance and/or to develop jurisprudential thoughts on basic concepts of the legal field.
