The National Academy of Legal Studies and Research (NALSAR) is committed to the creation of an ethical legal culture, which protects and promotes the rule of law.

About Nyaya Forum for Courtroom Lawyering

Nyaya Forum for Courtroom Lawyering is a first-of-its-kind student-initiated group at NALSAR University of Law, Hyderabad, dedicated to research on issues relating to the practice of law in courts and the promotion of careers in litigation and judiciary.

Through its blog 'NALSAR Legal Practice Hub' (NLPH) and various lectures, panel discussions, and other events conducted all year round, Nyaya Forum not only aims at making careers in courtroom lawyering more attractive but also tries to make these avenues more feasible and plausible for young law graduates.

Most recently, the Nyaya forum has conducted a webinar series on the practical aspects of litigation by inviting several distinguished speakers to share their knowledge and experiences. Our list of speakers can be accessed here - https://nyaya.nalsar.ac.in/events-2/.
