A 15-Year Retrospective on the Dodd-Frank Act: Regulatory Burdens on Community Banks and Comparative Lessons from the Indian Banking System
(NLUJAA, 2026) Sharmistha Indwar
The global financial crisis that occurred in the year 2008 was a massive and unforgettable turning point in the entire history of international banking law. In the years before the crash the United States government strongly believed in the concept of deregulation which essentially means that they wanted to remove strict rules and let banking institutions to whatever they wanted to do. The most famous example of this specific approach was the removal of the historical protections found inside the Glass Steagall Act, 1933. Originally this important law acted as a strong and protective wall that kept safe, boring and everyday consumer banking completely separate from wild and high-risk Wall Street gambling. However, when the government eventually tore down this legal wall massive global banks started mixing the regular savings of everyday people with extremely risky financial bets. Because these gigantic mega banks were so huge in size and so deeply connected to every single part of the global economy their reckless gambling created a very dangerous ticking time bomb. When the housing markets crashed in the year 2008 these giant banks began to completely collapse

The Digitisation of National Security in India: A Constitutional Study of Telecom Interception, Data Protection Exemptions and Anti-Terror Law
(NLUJAA, 2026) Md Sarfaraz Nawaz Hussain
National security has always been one of the most important functions of the State. Every constitutional democracy recognises that the State must possess sufficient power to protect sovereignty, territorial integrity, public order and the safety of its citizens. However, in a constitutional system, national security power is not unlimited. It must operate within the boundaries of fundamental rights, legality, fairness and accountability. The Indian Constitution does not create a separate zone where national security is free from constitutional control. Instead, it requires every exercise of State power, including security power, to remain subject to Part III of the Constitution
The Evolving Jurisprudence of Affirmative Action in India: Balancing Constitutional Equality, Meritocracy, and Substantive Justice- A Socio-Legal Analysis
(NLUJAA, 2026) Samriddhi Ojha
Affirmative Action’ has been one of the most prominent yet controversial issues in the world polity for several decades. The phrase refers to the practice of providing preferential treatment to those who are considerably disadvantaged when compared to others. The preferential treatment given to certain groups of people may be because of the historical wrongs done to them or due to some inherent inequalities they suffer.1 The phrase ‘Affirmative Action’ finds its roots in the United States, but with its wide array of manifestations, this instrument is used diversely in different countries. It is known by various names in different parts of the world; in the United Kingdom it is notably known as positive action, as reservation in countries like India, Nepal and Pakistan, employment equity in Canada and South Africa, standardization in Sri Lanka, and sons of the soil in Malaysia.
Using Intellectual Property Law, Intermediary Liability, and the Right to be Forgotten to Combat Image-Based Sexual Abuse: A Comparative Perspective Between India, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
(NLUJAA, 2026) Sampreeti Nath
This dissertation examines the efficacy of three distinct legal pillars, Intellectual Property Law, Intermediary Liability, and the Right to be Forgotten (RBTF), as tools for combating IBSA. By adopting a comparative perspective between India, the United States (US), and the United Kingdom (UK), the analysis seeks to identify the strengths and weaknesses of each approach and propose an integrated legal framework that better serves the needs of survivors in the digital age. In the US, the legal response is heavily influenced by a libertarian interpretation of the First Amendment of the Constitution10, which often prioritizes free expression over privacy claims. In contrast, the UK has moved toward a “Safety by Design” regulatory framework, imposing significant duties of care on service providers. India, meanwhile, is carving a unique path that incorporates some of the world’s most aggressive mandates for the rapid removal of Non-consensual Intimate Imagery (NCII).
