    About the Constitutional Law Society

    The National Law University of Odisha’s Constitutional Law Society (CLS) was founded in 2018 with the goal of offering a forum for public discussion and conversation regarding constitutional law. Through meticulous scholarship, public lectures and seminars, research conducted through independent projects, conferences, and collaboration with other institutions and people involved in the constitutional study, it seeks to enhance an accessible forum for intellectual discourse and shape the discussion of the most crucial and pertinent issues of constitutional law. Additionally, it makes an effort to raise awareness of the issue and its significance throughout the course of its activities. The Society was founded with the intention of fostering discussion and exchange regarding the various complexities of the field of constitutional law. The activities undertaken by the committee aim at enabling the students to have a holistic understanding of constitutional principles and constitutional jurisprudence.

    Overview of NLUO

    The National Law University of Odisha in Cuttack was established with the aim of advancing education, research, knowledge dissemination, and teaching in the legal field as well as meeting societal needs by assisting those wishing to pursue careers in advocacy, judicial services, legal services, and other related fields. The university is dedicated to fostering a culture where students prioritize their academic success above all else. By creating a number of specialized research institutes and student committees, NLUO has considerably tended to the needs of research in numerous legal subjects. The Constitutional Law Society is one such initiative of NLUO which aims at promoting the study, research and informed deliberation in the field of Constitutional Laws, and its allied subjects with a policy and application-oriented purpose.

    Theme Background

    With a focus on social relevance and diversity, the guest lecture examines the state of legal education in India. In order to meet the changing needs of industry, the organisation of legal education has undergone a significant transformation, and modern curricular and pedagogical practices have been used. One of the largest milestones in this approach was Prof. N.R. Madhava Menon’s introduction of the first integrated 5-year legal curriculum in 1987. Despite a number of advancements, the country’s legal education system is still far from meeting its objectives.
