The Centre for Policy and Research in International Law (CPRIL), initially established in 2016,  is a platform focusing on  international laws. With its commitment to disseminating high-quality research,  facilitating knowledge exchange,  and addressing pressing global challenges, CPRIL  is poised to make a significant impact  in the field of international law.

Considering the rising  powers of the States globally and increasing spheres requiring cooperation, the  need has been felt to study the same and provide different  perspectives on the issues at hand. Encouraging legal research and writing is one way of achieving the said goal,  thus, the Centre is pleased to announce the 1st Edition of the NLUJ International Law Blog Writing Competition.  The essay competition will be based on different themes reflecting the current issues.

The competition is being supported  by Majmudar & Partners. Established in 1943, they have evolved into one of India’s premier law firms representing the who’s who of global companies,  banks, and financial institutions. They specialize in inbound investments into India,  corporate/M&A, competition, banking and finance,  private equity and venture capital, tax, technology, media and  telecommunications, employment, projects and energy, and disputes.
