Centre for Studies in International Trade and International Investment Laws

About Centre

The Centre for ‘Studies in International Trade and Investment Laws’ is a research and learning centre at DNLU, Jabalpur. The centre aims to bring together the legal academics, professionals, students, researchers etc., with an objective of the dissemination of knowledge and encouraging research in the various realms of International Trade Law and International Investment Laws. It must be mentioned here that, the subjects of International Trade and International Investment Laws are offered usually as Optional or Elective Courses in Law schools. National Law Universities have always been at the cusp of dissemination of knowledge not only in traditional compulsory law courses but also have tried to expose the students to various other fields of law through various activities and events. This Centre would is one of such initiatives of a blooming National Law University to expose the interested students, scholars and academics to this intricate field of law which has interconnected horizons with both domestic law and International Law. Secondly, this is an area which also cuts across disciplines like Political Science and International Political and Economic Relations. Thirdly, there are not many universities in India which have a dedicated Research Centre for these areas of International and National significance. Hence, it would be an honest endeavour for the purpose of developing a medium through which various issues in International economic relations can be discussed, debated, deliberated and appreciated.
