About CJLT
The Centre for Jurisprudence and Legal Theory (CJLT) at NLIU, Bhopal, seeks to ignite rigorous scholarship in Jurisprudence and Legal Theory. The Centre aims to cultivate sustained interest in foundational legal thought, challenge the misplaced perception of jurisprudence as inherently abstruse, and push the boundaries of existing knowledge. Rooted in the belief that everything which is a human construct is ultimately intelligible to human beings, CJLT endeavours to simplify, amplify, and meaningfully signify the objectives and scope of jurisprudence. It further seeks to disseminate philosophical and scientific theories that shape the methods of answering questions seeking truth about law, while also addressing its interstices and silences.
