The Law and Society Committee successfully organised the inaugural edition of the National Legislation Review Competition, a first of its kind in India on  January 6, 2008. Keeping in mind the critical significance of legislations in dealing with social problems, the concept of holding a legislation review competition was thought of so as to provide students a first-hand experience of analysing and understanding legislation making.

The theme chosen was tobacco and its pernicious effect and the participants were asked to review all the legislations in this context. The competition was held in active collaboration with HRIDAY-SHAN Delhi, and is a bright example of academia-civil society partnership.

The competition comprised of written submissions and oral rounds. There was an good response from all the law colleges in India for the written round. However only the teams from NALSAR, ILS Pune (3 teams) GNLU (2 teams) made it to the top six to be eligible for the oral rounds.

ILS Pune made a clean sweep of the awards with team A walking away with the top prize and team B clinching the runners-up.
