2023 CONFERENCE: THEME<\/h4>\n

A comparative study is the quintessence of municipal law development. Adopting a comparative approach helps to delve deeper into one’s legal system to assess and appreciate the similarities and divergences amongst legislations, legal institutions, political framework, social ideologies, policies and rules in corresponding jurisdictions. This comparison may be ‘bilateral’,i.e.<\/i>, between two distinct legal regimes or ‘multilateral’ involving a comparative analysis of more than two legal systems. The definite aim is the betterment and strengthening of the domestic legal structure.<\/p>\n

Comparative methodology to the study of law is not unknown to India. Its impact is apparent, as evidenced in the evolution of Indian law. The illustrious Indian Constitution is a testimony of the country’s practical application of comparative law. It seeks inspiration from the best practices enshrined in the text of analogous Constitutions. In its historical judgements, the revered Indian judiciary has repeatedly referred to the norms prevailing in comparable jurisdictions to advance and nourish the home jurisprudence. The progression of Article 21 of the Constitution of India is one such classic example. Furthermore, the comparative method is strikingly evident in the stances taken by the Indian Courts in extending protection to several socio-economic entitlements and causes, including gender rights, civil and political rights, environmental causes, corporate governance, etc<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Indian jurisprudence has witnessed intense legal practice and comparative law scholarship growth in the last few decades. Global developments, transnational governance, and complex economic inter- dependence, aided by the development of new communication and information technologies, have contributed to making the legal profession more contemporary in scope than ever before. Comparative law, therefore, though as old as law itself, has become of tremendous significance for the growth of modern legal societies.<\/p>\n

Against this backdrop, ICCL – 2023 has been conceptualised. It allows legal professionals, learned members of the academia, erudite research scholars and students to explore, assess and compare the legal order of any two or more countries deemed suitable to them, with the single stipulation that India or Australia must be taken as the base of such comparison.<\/p>\n

Sub-Themes<\/span><\/p>\n

ICCL – 2023 has a plethora of non-exhaustive<\/span> themes and sub-themes to offer! The author may make a suitable choice from the given sub-themes. However, the base country of comparison must be either India or Australia.<\/p>\n
