About CLIS BLOG
The Centre for Litigation Studies (CLiS) is a student run body at the National Law University Jodhpur. CLiS was established to promote and encourage litigation as a career option among the students. We aim at organising lectures and other activities with a special focus on the practical understanding of procedural laws. The Centre organises the Intra-University Public Interest Litigation Filing Competition annually in a bid to make the students familiar with the filing of a PIL.
CLiS Blog has been created to further the said objective by publishing articles and interviews of the individuals associated with litigation in order to understand the nuances of the field.
