NUJS Kolkata’s Journal of Regulatory Studies has released a special issue with 18 articles about the pandemic and related legal and policy issues, in possibly the first such publication by an Indian law school’s journal.
The journal’s editor-in-chief is Dr Shambhu Prasad Chakrabarty, who is research fellow at NUJS and coordinator of its Centre for Regulatory Studies, Governance and Public Policy, which publishes the journal.
Chakrabarty told us today: “The main objective to put up this special issue on COVID 19 is to put the facts together based on evidence bereft of bias before the readers and uplift the rule of law.”
The journal includes articles on areas such as intellectual property (IP), employment, contracts, property laws, discrimination and police powers, domestic violence, economics and corporate laws.
Furthermore, at least nine articles are about hot-topic of the effect of the Covid-19 shutdown on the environment.
