2nd NLUJAA National Legal Essay Competition

As a part of its research and awareness activities, the Centre for Clinical Legal Education and Legal Aid Cell (CCLE-LAC) is organizing the 2nd NLUJAA National Legal Essay Competition.
The zeal showed by the students for the first edition of this competition gave us an impetus to move ahead and encourage students , academicians and researchers to be innovative in their approach and make this competition a massive success with their participation.
 
The essay writing competition is intended to provide young students with an opportunity to study, analyse and understand the role played by various stakeholders in propagating ethos of justice and good conscience.
 
With an aim to encourage the energetic young students of the country to come up with new ideas and suggestions in this endeavour, the broad theme of the competition is reserved as “Religious Laws and Hate Crimes in developing Countries”. The organising committee has opted against restricting the scope by providing any sub-themes and the writers are therefore encouraged to write on any aspect under the said theme.
