About Dehradun Law Review

Dehradun Law Review, a law journal of Law College Dehradun, Uttaranchal University an offshoot of Uttaranchal University, is a sincere platonic endeavor to explore new horizons of Legal Knowledge. Retrospectively, our intellectual journey which began in 2002 with the establishment of Law College Dehradun reached its practical zenith with the ultimate formation of Uttaranchal University constituted with the merger of Law College Dehradun and its sister concerns UIT and UIM vide the Uttaranchal University Act, 2012 passed by the legislative assembly of Uttarakhand. Hence the journal appears to be an exquisite example of academic symphony with the evolution of Uttaranchal University both as a concept and concrete reality.

The dynamics of socio-legal, political and economic changes taking place in the global scenario has brought symmetric changes in the hitherto existing legal paradigms. As a natural sub-theorem, it has led to new scholastic inducements for in depth analysis in the sphere of law. Matching the pace, our journal ‘Dehradun Law Review’ strenuously endeavors to assimilate changing legal perspectives both in native and global context and intends to impel intellectual fraternity to address some of the pressing legal issues which bother the civil society. Beginning from a wall and web-journal, we have published the sixth volume of the journal which is the testimony of our principled effort.

The journal received the ISSN number in 2011 which contained the lead presentation by Hon’ble Mr. Justice A. R. Laxmanan, the then Chairman of Law Commission of India. The journal ‘Dehradun Law Review’ further added feathers to its cap when its fifth and sixth volumes were released by the then Hon’ble Governor of Uttarakhand Dr. Aziz Quereshi and the then Chief Minister of Uttarakhand Mr. Harish Rawat respectively. It has received appreciation from across the legal spectrum of the country and abroad. Legal luminaries and intellectuals from reputed national and international universities have contributed articles to the journal providing valuable insights into various legal issues in the contemporary scenario. The Editorial Board of Dehradun Law Review is committed to constantly upgrade the quality of journal and incessantly continues to propel itself to accomplish its well cherished objective to become a reputed, refereed and peer reviewed journal benefitting the law students plus academicians in particular and society in general. We are also proud to state that this Journal is approved by University Grants Commission (UGC)
