The Environmental Law & Practice Review (ELPR)

About

The Environmental Law & Practice Review is an initiative by the Dr S.P. Chatterjee Centre for Environmental Law Studies, NALSAR University of Law, established to serve as a forum for deliberation and debate on various issues relating to the environment and law. The journal, which is incidentally India’s only student-run journal devoted to the discourse on environmental law, is envisaged by the Centre as an important part of encouraging scholarship in environmental law and policy. We seek to foster environmental discourse and encourage dialogue in what has emerged as an issue of considerable impact in recent times. Students are especially encouraged to write for the journal and contribute to contemporary legal, political, and policy matters relating to the environment.

ELPR was founded in 2010, with the first edition being released in 2011. Since then, it has been published annually. It is committed solely to the developments and trends that characterize Environmental Law and is released each year at the convocation ceremony. ELPR publishes articles on a variety of issues, including natural resources law, environmental policy, law and economics, and other allied topics. We accept submissions from students, academics, practitioners, activists, or other writers throughout the year. The Journal is backed by a student Editorial Board and an Advisory Panel comprising distinguished personalities such as Hon’ble (Retd.) Justice Kuldip Singh, Dr. Vandana Shiva, Founder, Navdanya, Shyam Divan, Senior Advocate at the Supreme Court of India, Dr. Sejal Worah, Program Director WWF, India, Prof. Wil Burns of Santa Clara University, and Mr. Nigel Howorth, Partner at Cliff.
