The article must survey current practice in the field, identify any lacunae and offer innovative reassessment along with constructive suggestions. Theoretical pieces are also welcome in this category.

II. Essays/Short Articles (1500-3000 words, Excluding footnotes) Essays/short articles are more concise in scope and are focused on a particular issue and offer new perspectives and critical insights on the selected topic. They offer clearly identifiable arguments and may provide different ways of conceptualizing the selected issue.

III. Case Notes and Legislative Comments (1200-2500 words) This category is meant for the analysis of any contemporary judicial pronouncement, legislative action, or policy proposal.
