Collaborative learning and knowledge production are at the very core of CJLS's vision of bridging the gap between academia and activism through its pedagogical interventions and community interactions. In our endeavor to advance radical social transformation through collaborative engagements at the intersections of academia and activism, CJLS introduced the Law & Justice Visiting Scholar Programmme in 2022 to create spaces for scholars and activists working on issues of law and marginalisation to hold critical conversations in classrooms. The Law & Justice Scholar Program is a unique opportunity for an individual to interact with students and fellow scholars from a wide range of disciplinary backgrounds at the Jindal Global Law School (JGLS).

The Law & Justice Visiting Scholar Program will offer young researchers, activists, and academics working at the grassroots level the opportunity to teach/co-teach a 2-credit course on a subject that addresses a key contemporary issue of law, marginalisation, and social justice at JGLS. Through this program, CJLS will annually offer one individual the position of a Visiting Scholar to take on a teaching role at JGLS.

The scholar will also have access to all the institutional and infrastructure facilities that are made available to all faculty members, including library and remote access services, along with an official email address. In addition to the 2-credit course, the scholar will also conduct one public lecture on a contemporary social issue addressed in the course curriculum.
