About

All contributors are invited to submit their original articles to kslreview@ksl.edu.np

Kathmandu School of Law Review (KSLR, ISSN: 2091-2110) is the flagship journal of Kathmandu School of Law, dedicated towards presenting the diverse aspects of legal academia and research. Each issue features articles from legal scholars, practitioners and students from various countries and offers critical insights to contemporary legal issues that contribute to solving global problems.

We welcome submissions from students of law schools, advocates, members of the judiciary, academia, personnel from international organizations and strategic affairs and governmental foreign policy think-tanks. Manuscripts submitted by contributors go through a comprehensive review, editing, and quality control process before being published by the KSLR Editorial Board.

With a publication history of 12 years, KSLR has published one issue per year for Volumes 1 through 3, and two issues per year from Volume 4 - one in March and one in September. However, we have currently shifted to a temporary publication cycle of one issue per year due to delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. We aim to return to the bi-annual schedule from 2025.

Our main goal is to promote scholarly discussions in the legal field through publishing research-based articles, sharing knowledge, and creating a platform to enhance legal academia, both nationally and globally. We aspire to become a standard journal for anyone interested in legal education and gain widespread support in nurturing quality scholarship in the future.

Issue Description

We are pleased to see the inclusion of articles that critically examine the influence of Western epistemologies on our understanding of concepts such as nationhood. This kind of intellectual inquiry is crucial as we strive to develop legal frameworks that are truly responsive to our local contexts while engaging with global norms.
The exploration of academic freedom, arbitration practices, and the interface between nutrition and the right to health demonstrates the journal's commitment to addressing multifaceted challenges that directly impact society's fabric and functioning in regards to social compliance. Moreover, the analysis of Nepal's aviation laws in relation to global standards highlights the ongoing efforts to harmonize national legislation with international norms.
