About the Literary and Debate Society

Symbiosis Law School (SLS), Hyderabad is organizing a National Virtual Conference on ‘Law, Language, and Literature’, on April 29 & 30, 2022.

Symbiosis has a relatively long history of productive and opulent cultural meets and the Hyderabad campus carries on that legacy and heritage. As a part of this, the Literary and Debate Society has been established to provide a platform to the students to find a space to interact, exchange and perform—and boost their cultural acumen.

The Literary and Debate Society was established to allow students to liberate their thoughts and act as a platform to voice their opinions, sharpen their oratory skills and promote a debating culture. Literature is necessary to keep culture, art, heritage, tradition, and most importantly, imagination alive.

This Society aspires to create an environment to celebrate, discuss and promote literature. It is actively engaged in providing a substantial and unrestricted foundation for students to explore the world beyond textbooks, where the freedom of speech, dissent, and discussion of significant social issues are vital for change and the well-being of society.

About the Virtual Conference

Law, literature, and language are perpetually intertwined disciplines and have had distinct subtle influences on our lives. The relationship among law, language, and literature has provided valuable insights into art, relationships, human psychology, and other socio-cultural aspects that affect the creation and implementation of laws. It also assists legal education by providing interpretations, historical knowledge, and insights into different fields.

Consequently, law inspires literary works that have become classics, influenced generations, and changed social perceptions.

The disciplines of Law, Language, and Literature have had a symbiotic relationship since time immemorial.

• Law’s existence is dependent on language and the latter personalizes and expresses the legal norms that a society or community requires.
• Language also helps solve legal disputes and provides a link of communication between the citizens of a country. 
• Literature plays a catalyst role in the manifestation of the legal framework, and legal practice remains a thrilling theme of literature.

The combination of these three disciplines provides a new thought-provoking field of study about their relationship and their effect on our society. Their relationship has led to the creation of art that has influenced and shaped the way so many people think and created a number of socio-cultural norms.

Eligibility

The conference intends to explore and study this relationship by creating a space for students, researchers, and academicians to pen down their thoughts and have a meaningful dialogue.
Doing this would provide them with an insight and an analysis of the relationship. 

All students, researchers, academicians from all Universities will be eligible for this conference.
