Call For Papers & Call For Positions: Neith Law & Humanities Review

Neith acknowledges that several critical fields within both law and the humanities are often left understated. In order to do our part to bridge that gap, the journal values all contributions to the realms of sociology, political science, economics, history, art, psychology, anthropology, English literature, and all the areas that link them together, especially those that the mainstream has glossed over to a relative degree even within the legal field. Examples of the same include papers and notes that attempt to analyse dimensions within Sports Law, Marine Law, International Environmental Law, etc. Individuality is encouraged, and Neith recommends that all authors attempt to place a unique spin on the work submitted for Volume 1, Issue 2 of the journal.

In order to ensure accessibility, a mere publication fee of ₹500 only will be charged, only after the selection of the manuscript.
