NLSIU Announces a Research Centre on the Legal Profession

The National Law School of India University (NLSIU) is pleased to announce the establishment of the Centre for the Study of the Legal Profession dedicated to promoting equity, inclusion and justice within the legal profession in India. The new research centre will enhance our understanding of the legal profession in India through rigorous empirical research, sustained – policy engagement, and interdisciplinary scholarship. By examining the profession’s structures, norms, and practices, the Centre will contribute to informed debates and reforms that strengthen the legal profession and its role in advancing justice and social development. 

The Centre will commence its research activities from the academic year 2026-27 with the launch of the Women’s Inclusion and Leadership in Law (WILL) Initiative – a five-year effort to advance a more gender-inclusive litigation practice in India. The University will support early-career women litigators from diverse socio-economic backgrounds in entering, sustaining, and advancing to leadership positions within litigation practice.

Though women formally entered the profession in the country through the Legal Practitioners (Women) Act, 1923, even a century later the profession still lacks adequate representation of women at all levels. While women constitute nearly 32% of law graduates annually in India, they make up only 15% of the 1.8 million enrolled advocates. An even smaller fraction—just 3.4%—have been designated as Senior Advocates. Women occupy only 13.4% of High Court judgeships, 1 seat in the Supreme Court, and none in the Bar Council of India. Across state bar councils, women hold only 2% of elected positions. The sharp decline in women’s representation from the point of entry into the profession to positions of leadership is shaped by systemic, institutional, and cultural barriers that converge most severely during the early years of litigation practice.

We may address these challenges if women litigators have gender-responsive workplace policies, meaningful professional development opportunities, and strong collective platforms to advocate for change using robust evidence. Any progress along these dimensions, would better position women to enter, remain, and thrive in litigation practice—ultimately contributing to the transformation of the profession itself. The University team will expand evidence-based research, strengthen policy reform and support professional development pathways that promote fairer work conditions and support women’s litigation and leadership capacities through greater solidarity, mentorship and collective action.

Dr. Ashrita Prasad Kotha, Associate Professor of Law and Director of the Centre, observed that: 

“As a first-generation practitioner turned academician, I have closely witnessed how the legal profession informs access and justice. The need for a systematic study of the legal profession deeply resonates with me. As I take on this role, I look forward to collaborating with various stakeholders including fellow lawyers, researchers and institutional partners to drive evidence-based policy reform and to create long-term impact that is meaningful and inclusive.”

Dr. Kotha further noted that:

“This initiative is central to the University’s ongoing commitment to making the Indian legal profession more representative and responsive to gender justice. Through focused interventions and strategic partnerships, the initiative will address persistent barriers hindering women’s equitable growth in the profession, particularly during the formative years of practice, and create pathways for long-term leadership and institutional change.” 

Prof. Sudhir Krishnaswamy, Vice Chancellor of NLSIU thanked the faculty and staff team who worked for over a year to design and secure support for the Centre. He observed that:

“The establishment of a dedicated research centre on the legal profession allows the University to deliver on its founding vision to transform the Indian legal profession into a professionally competent and socially inclusive community that sustains the rule of law and contributes to national development. We hope that the Centre will support and galvanize young women lawyers who will reshape the future of the legal profession and the Indian legal system.”

6th India Public Policy Network Conference | June 8 to 11, 2026

The National Law School of India University (NLSIU), Bengaluru hosted the 6th India Public Policy Network Conference (IPPN) from June 8 to 11, 2026. The theme for this edition was ‘Public Policy Praxis in the Global South: Building Coherence and Capacity for Future Challenges.’ 

The conference was hosted at NLSIU in collaboration with India Public Policy Network, University of Cambridge (Department of Land Economy), INET (Young Scholars initiative) and National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER).

Public Policy Praxis in Global South

Public policy praxis—the knowledge derived from practice and reflection—is transforming governance across developing economies. In India, this transformation is visible through the exponential growth of policy education programs, research institutions, and a vast industry of policy practice that spans government, consulting, and civil society. Yet, this expansion unfolds amidst technological, administrative, ecological, and political shifts that challenge existing legal and policy frameworks.

Developing economies are now key laboratories for governance innovation. From AI-enabled service delivery to local-level participatory experiments, these contexts highlight how governance capacity, institutional coherence, and policy equity must evolve together. The conference invites reflection on how public policy praxis can help bridge theory and action, regulation and innovation, and local and global approaches to policymaking.

We aim to foster dialogue between academia, practitioners, and policymakers to explore how developing economies can build coherence and capacity to meet future challenges in governance, technology, and sustainability.

Conference Tracks

The conference will be structured around three central tracks:

1. Teaching Track

Panels within this track will examine how law and public policy are taught in developing economies, with a focus on curriculum design, pedagogy, and the integration of emerging issues such as technology, sustainability, and inequality. Discussions will include the challenges of interdisciplinary teaching, the use of case-based and experiential learning, and how to prepare students for careers at the intersection of law, governance, and policy. The teaching track will also explore how new technologies—AI, online learning, and digital classrooms—are reshaping the delivery of legal and policy education.

A glimpse of thematics that will be explored:

What are the kinds of learning outcomes expected beyond disciplinary foundations?
How have experiential learning components been designed that are not necessarily focussed on empirical reporting and for academic research?
How do programmes balance generalist teaching and sectoral depth?
What are the pedagogical approaches being used to incorporate heterodox approaches that can overcome disciplinary boundaries?
What kinds of innovations have been tried in assessment, concept building, application ability to meet learning requirements?
How is public policy praxis in India being taught that makes it distinct from standard western approaches to teaching Public Policy?

2. Research Track

This track will focus on academic scholarship addressing the governance challenges of developing economies. Papers and panels will explore methodological innovations in studying law–policy intersections, comparative governance in the Global South, and the role of interdisciplinary frameworks. Key themes include technological governance, digital inequality, climate change, urban transformation, and human rights in digital spaces. The research track will highlight how developing economies are not only case studies but also producers of theoretical insights that can shape global debates.

Some illustrative themes include the following:

-What are the challenges to policymaking for sustainability in India and how can they be addressed?

-How do law and policy interact in the face of uncertainty?

-What are the emerging policy issues within sectors that require further research? What lessons can be drawn from comparative studies of governance in the Global South?

-What has been the impact of networks and actors on governance?

-How can developing economies balance innovation and regulation in policymaking?

-What are some new concepts and methodologies that are relevant to public policy research in India?

3. Practice Track

This track will bring together policymakers, practitioners, lawyers, and civil society actors to discuss how law and policy reforms are implemented in practice. It will highlight real-world innovations such as e-governance platforms, fintech regulation, community-driven governance, smart city initiatives, and dispute resolution mechanisms. Panels will emphasize lessons learned from the field, including both successes and failures, and explore how legal frameworks can be made more adaptive, participatory, and responsive to local contexts.

-What interventions have worked and what have not and why?

-How do legal practitioners address public policy challenges?

-How do policy practitioners understand and address the legal dimensions of policy?

-What areas of research do practitioners expect from the academic community?

-How can we explore and consolidate collaborative practices between academia, law, and the policy community?

A defining moment of the programme was the keynote address by Prof. Babu Mathew, Visiting Professor – NLSIU who located food security within larger questions of economic justice. He underlined three essential pillars: Minimum Support Price (MSP) to protect farmers, Minimum Wages to secure purchasing power, and a robust Public Distribution System (PDS) to guarantee access to food. He also reflected on the significance of PL-480 and India’s transition towards self-reliance.

Session details

Day One laid a strong conceptual foundation through insightful sessions by Dr. Tara on adequate nutrition across the life cycle, key concepts and definitions for understanding right to food and nutrition.

Day Two was a major highlight with Dr. Veena, Former Director of National Institute of Nutrition, leading insightful sessions that connected science, policy, and everyday realities. She examined child growth standards, the critical importance of nutrition in the first five years, maternal health, and the long-term consequences of undernutrition. Her emphasis on protein quality, micronutrients, and diverse diets encouraged participants to think beyond calories and more towards meaningful nutrition security.

Ms.Jyotsna, Director of Public Policy – Legalexcel Attorneys, further deepened the discussions through sessions on the Rights-Based Approach, the PANTHER Principles, and international frameworks influencing food systems. The sessions sparked thoughtful conversations and meaningful exchanges among attendees.

Day Three brought the focus to India’s policy landscape. Dr. Swati Narayan, Assistant Professor – NLSIU traced the journey of food security policies and the Right to Food movement, including the National Food Security Act, 2013. Sessions by Akshaya P, Research Assistant – CCL, NLSIU highlighted contemporary data on food insecurity and the impact of caste, gender, age, and disability on access to nutrition.

The discussions across all the sessions encouraged participants to view nutrition not merely as welfare but as a matter of entitlement, dignity, equality and justice. The program concluded on a positive note, equipping participants with a deeper understanding, renewed commitment, and practical insights to promote sustainable food systems.
