About Corporate Law Society, NLU Jodhpur
CLS was founded in 2014 with the primary objective of providing a platform to foster discussions and debate on issues of corporate law and related topics, inculcate an interest in the subject and allow students to gain a practitioner’s perspective.
This is facilitated through inviting our eminent alumni to deliver lectures on developments and emerging trends in the realm of corporate law and related areas. We also hold our flagship event, the Essay Competition, which provides a platform for students from Universities of Law all across the country to contribute to the corporate law academia, and to forward the discourse on the subject-matter.
