Aims and Objectives The principal objective of the Centre for Philosophy and Comparative Law Studies (CPCLS) is to undertake studies and investigations in core areas of public law and advanced jurisprudence as well as comparative private law, and comparative legal systems. The primary means proposed to be employed for undertaking such investigations include but are not limited to - conducting specific courses, training programmes, seminars in comparative constitutional law and comparative legal systems, conduct field studies to catalogue pluralism in societies, etc. Further, the Centre is aimed at undertaking doctrinal studies and publish documents for achieving the overall objectives of the comparative studies delineated above. The Centre is dedicated to fostering its goals by undertaking the following activities - · Undertaking studies and teaching of comparative merits of different legal systems of the world. · Undertaking studies and teaching of public law with an emphasis on fundamental conceptions in constitutional law and legal institutions. · Undertaking studies in comparative legal philosophy with an emphasis on understanding Indian(indigenous) legal traditions, philosophy of law, and justice in classical and modern epochs. · Engaging in and promoting interdisciplinary studies in public and private laws by way of class-room teaching and research. · Engaging with various organizations (both national and international) for funding and conducting events to foster research and studies in the field of Comparative Public Law as delineated above.
