About the Organisation
Socio-Legal Forum aims to provide a balance to the legal arena of the country by providing the nexus of the law regarding society. The primary objective for this is to educate the various protectors of justice in the country by providing them well- researched deliberations.
It is a peer-reviewed website for
the legal fraternity. We at the forum endeavour to assist the lawyers, law
students, and the legal scholars as well as professors in an attempt to assist
each other and strengthen the legal community as a whole through the means of
blogs, journals, competitions, workshops, and events.
