NLU-O Journal on Competition Law and Policy

images

National Law University, Orissa is the first Law School/University in the country to (finally!!) come out with a law journal dedicated to competition law. Introducing the JOURNAL ON COMPETITION LAW AND POLICY !! 🙂

Personally, am glad we finally have a journal other than the Manupatra Competition Law Reports (CompLR) for competition law. Whislt taking nothing away from CompLR, it is my personal opinion that  dedicated academic jounals published on a non-for -profit basis by a Law School/University generally have articles with more indepth research.

The Call for Papers can be found here. (Via www.lawctopus.com) The last date for submissions is 1st August, 2013
