Mapping ADR, a student-run initiative of Jindal Global Law School (JGLS), is calling for submissions for its blog.
About MADR
‘Mapping ADR’ is a student-run research platform aimed at facilitating discussion on the contours of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanisms. A key aspect of this platform is the Mapping ADR Blog, a focused and convenient avenue for those who are interested in writing and are keen to publish ideas on contemporary issues surrounding ADR practice. Given the growing interest in the legal fraternity in developments on ADR and its increasing prominence, discussion on it is more relevant now than ever.
Our aim has been to critically explore issues both specific to the Indian legal arena as well as increasingly relevant transnational alternative dispute settlement. Our blog pieces are a testament of this vision. Till now, MADR has published 75+ articles. In addition, the blog regularly hosts articles, interviews, and recent case updates in the field of ADR
Our editorial board consists of 20+ dedicated students who work under the guidance of Prof Ashwin Mishra to publish original and thought-provoking literature.
