Academic circles across premier law schools of the world have been characterized by the presence of an intellectual and interactive atmosphere among students and faculty members. In India, however, we are yet to see the inception of a platform that promotes stimulating, real-time legal discourse outside classrooms. In an attempt to bridge this scholastic divide, Something About The Law has sought to conceptualize a monthly debate-cum-discourse among legal practitioners, academia and experts on a host of socio-legal topics.
To reiterate, the Debate series is an attempt to stimulate an intellectual
environment, not just amongst students of NALSAR, but law schools in India and the world over. To achieve this purpose, the entire debate would be streamed by us for people all over the globe to watch. This includes prominently the American Bar Association website, Lex Monitor and internet legal forums in Canada and other parts of the world.
LexisNexis Butterworths Wadhwa & Co. will be sponsoring this monthly affair, and NALSAR University of Law will play host to the debates, the first of which took place on April 18, 2009. Please find the videos of all Debates linked to this page.
