About The Law and Pop-Culture Forum<\/p>\n

The Law and Pop-Culture Forum was established in 2022 under the guidance of Asst. Prof. Adithya A. Variath as the Faculty-in-Charge. The Forum was set up with the objective to cover a surprisingly underexplored field in India — the intersection of law and pop culture. The Forum believes in the power of teaching the law, while also being cognizant of the cultural relevance that the law holds — from comedy shows to crime thrillers and everything in between.<\/p>\n
