Schedule
17 JAN, 2026
10:00 am – 12:45 pm
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.
Lunch Break
02:00 pm – 04:45 pm
Legal Session 2 – Nation state under the constitution
How far can the State go in the name of constitutional “duties” and social goals—without hollowing out rights? This theme examines the uneasy tools of power: Article 31C’s immunity, the limits of Basic Structure, and whether Article 31B has outlived its justification.
