Legal Session 1 – Constitutional Jurisprudence
What makes a codified Constitution more than just a powerful statute? Constitutional jurisprudence unpacks the puzzle of permanence vs change—why Article 368 matters, how courts read the spirit behind the text, and why the founding moment still binds us.

Legal Session 2 – Nation state under the constitution
