About the Blog
ELSR is a student-run and peer reviewed blog. The blog was founded by students of various National Law Universities. We here at ELS Review focus on inter-disciplinary discovery and dissection of law. We attempt to escape from the four walls of the statutes and synthesise thoughts and ideas from other disciplines so as to link them with law.Law cannot be understood in pure isolation and it is bound to intersect with disciplines like economics, philosophy, politics and sociology, for law is not what is drafted by the legislatures and crafted by the judges; it is something everyone including you and we interacts with, on a daily basis.We strive to bring forth academically excellent content across various fields of Law and Social Sciences which includes Economics, History, Politics among others.
