About the Journal
The NMIMS Student Law Review is the flagship law journal of NMIMS Kirit P. Mehta School of Law, Mumbai, established with the objective of providing a forum for students to engage in quality legal discourse that captures the zeitgeist of contemporary legal issues.
With this, the journal strives to promote and foster a culture of serious academic research and writing. The remit of the journal is not just limited to any particular area of law, and submissions of an interdisciplinary nature analysing contemporary legal issues are encouraged.
