SVKM Pravin Gandhi College of Law (PGCL) is organizing a National Conference on Multidisciplinary Perspectives in Law, on October 9th, 2021.
About the college
SVKM's Pravin Gandhi College of Law is an institution under the aegis of Shri Vile Parle Kelavani Mandal and is affiliated to the University of Mumbai. The hallmark of this institution is the adoption of a holistic model of education dedicated to the pursuance of quality education through consistently evolving pedagogy with the objectives of resource generation and knowledge pooling.
The institutional milieu is a fountainhead for new perceptions inculcating norms suited to academic and professional excellence. The initiative of academic deliberation by diverse stakeholders is an effective tool for generating novel ideas.
In pursuance of these objectives, SVKM’s Pravin Gandhi College of Law, Mumbai is conducting an online One-Day National Conference on Inclusivity in Law: Multidisciplinary Perspectives.
About the Conference
Inclusivity, in ordinary parlance, is used to suggest the quality of including people from every stratum of society to ensure equal opportunities to all. In the field of law, inclusivity would mean not only the inclusion of people from all walks of life, but it would also have to ensure the inclusion of all areas of human knowledge and inquiry ever made.
A just and fair world does not let anyone live on the fringes, nor does it let any area of inquiry stay outside the domain of law. For law to take that form, it is necessary that all the voices are heard and all knowledge is deliberated over before any policy, program or law is brought in place. Thus, it is incumbent on the members of the legal fraternity to not only be non-discriminatory, but also keep itself up-to-date with new areas of human development and thought; there needs to be a collective sense of responsibility of sharing relevant knowledge to embrace the changing norms with the changing times.
Inclusivity in law is an area of both desire and debate. While some foundation is already laid, much needs to be achieved to offer to our citizens a just legal system. Inclusivity in law requires greater participation from across disciplines; we need environmentalists, linguists, educators, medical experts, economists, political theorists, social activists, and artists to share their knowledge and expertise for a legal system that is truly inclusive.
Law can be made inclusive by providing an umbrella of protection to all, including the most marginalized. This can be achieved through designing laws that are inclusive and encompassing thereby creating a safe haven for every individual. To achieve this, members of the legal fraternity and members of varied allied fields need to get together to broaden the vision of justice and equality. We need to devote time for reflections aimed at bringing in multidisciplinary perspectives to make laws more applicable, creative, innovative, and thus - just, fair and reasonable.
Aim of the conference
The aim of this conference is to offer a comprehensive discourse on the road map towards ensuring inclusivity in law by facilitating a common platform for members of the legal fraternity and all its allied fields. This conference seeks to invite academicians, researchers, legal practitioners, and all the members from the allied fields to offer their insights that would lead to a greater understanding of the world around us so that one can take more informed steps in the deliverance of justice.
The conference will be held on an online platform- MS Teams. Necessary guidelines for the use of MS Teams will be shared after registration.
