Season’s Greetings!
I am glad to announce the publication of the Vol. 15 No. 01 issue of the Indian Journal
of Law and Justice. The Indian Journal of Law and Justice has come a long way in the
last one decade from being a national law journal to being an internationally acclaimed
journal and from being a mere print version to having a website of its own, namely
ijlj.nbu.ac.in. Along with being enlisted by the UGC CARE, the journal is proudly
indexed with the esteemed SCOPUS along with the HeinOnline and EBSCO.
Innumerable scholars, academicians and professionals from the field of law as well as
other social sciences sector have been relying on this journal for their scholarly
publications and have played a pivotal role in their early career success. I along with my
highly efficient editorial team pledge to building on the legacy of this journal. We are
making an endeavour for online submissions of articles and research papers to improve
and expedite peer review. We, as a team, shall continue to remain committed to making
it a forum that welcomes scholarship from a diverse and global group of authors, whose
ideas are at the cutting edge of law and policy research.
Keeping the trend of the Indian Journal of Law and Justice, authors across the globe have
contributed on varied topical matters and raised relevant and pressing questions in their
papers to enrich the journal. The current issue highlights on the importance and
application of technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) vis-à-vis legal framework,
deepfakes, space laws and environmental issues, rape laws, animal rights, corporate
governance, gender issues including LGBTQ rights, mediation and Indian business start-
ups.
Apart from the above long articles, two commentaries and a book review in the current
issue.
I thank all contributors for their submissions to this edition and their cooperation with the
editorial team during the production phase. I express my gratitude again to the entire
Editorial Team whose commitment and perseverance made this publication possible
Suggestions and opinions for the improvement of the journal are solicited.
With Best Wishes
