Instructions to Authors:

The peer-reviewed “Journal of Academy of Juridical Studies (JAJS)” solicits quality articles pertaining to contemporary legal issues. Contributions are invited in the forms of articles, case comments, book reviews and short notes. Articles on legal issues are solicited not only from the legal academicians but even from those scholars of non legal discipline provided their research paper reflects on the related legal dimensions. JAJS which began its publication in 2005 is so far brought out in physical version with the ISSN No 2278-456X. From this issue onwards editorial board decided to bring virtual version to reach out to more readers.

The journal has so far conformed to ethical practice of publishing articles only for serving academic cause and not for commercial objectives. Therefore, authors are instructed strictly not to attempt to make unethical offers of monetary consideration to the members of editorial board for publication of their article in our journal. Any such offer disqualifies the research paper from consideration for publication.
