CENTRE FOR PARLIAMENTARY STUDIES & LAW REFORMS
Director : Dr. Anil R. Nair, Associate Professor, NUALS.
The Centre for Parliamentary Studies and Law Reforms (CPSLR) under the National University of Advanced Legal Studies (NUALS) is an endeavour of the University to make legislation more effective for social transformation and to achieve social justice by equitable administration of law. The CPSLR adopts an inter-disciplinary approach to identify the inadequacies of present laws, suggest the changes required and support the enactment of new laws to meet emerging challenges. The Centre has initiated studies on parliamentary procedures and legislative practices to provide necessary recommendations for the rectification of defects and to better their functioning. The CPSLR strives to guarantee public participation in the process of law making to provide valuable inputs for the qualitative improvement of the law. It provides a point of convergence for law makers, academicians and the general public.
