Further, under prison reforms, the course touches on the areas of conditions of prisons, rights and vulnerabilities of the prison population among more interesting topics.

About CPAJ
The Centre for Poverty and Access to Justice was established in the year 2020 with the aim of minimising and mitigating the obstacles faced by the socially and economically disadvantaged people in accessing justice. The objective of the Centre is to promote community and traditional justice systems that are relatively easily accessible to vulnerable groups, and to make them more compliant with Human Rights. The Centre aims at studying the barriers to access to justice with emphasis on the groups disadvantaged due to inequality in their economic status, discrimination, and lack of legal awareness; and overcoming the barriers through State, Civil Society and policy Intervention.
About CHRI
CHRI specialises in the areas of Access to Justice (ATJ) and Access to Information (ATI). The ATJ programme has focussed on Police and Prison Reforms, to reduce arbitrariness and ensure transparency while holding duty bearers to account. CHRI looks at policy interventions, including legal remedies, building civil society coalitions and engaging with stakeholders. The ATI looks at Right to Information (RTI) and Freedom of Information laws across geographies, provides specialised advice, sheds light on challenging issues, processes for widespread use of transparency laws and develops capacity.
CHRI reviews pressures on freedom of expression and media rights while a focus on Small States seeks to bring civil society voices to bear on the UN Human Rights Council and the Commonwealth Secretariat. CHRI has special consultative status with the UN Economic and Social Council and is accredited to the Commonwealth Secretariat. Recognised for its expertise by governments, oversight bodies and civil society, it is registered as a society in India, a limited charity in London and an NGO in Ghana. Although the Commonwealth, an association of 54 nations, provided member countries the basis of shared common laws, there was little specific focus on human rights issues in member countries.

“3rd CLS-NLUO Credit Course (Online) on “The Economics of Constitutionalism: Principles and Practice” from 22nd Jan to 6th Feb 2022.”
06 Jan 2022
The Constitutional Law Society is proud to announce?hat we are organizing the 3rd CLS-NLUO Credit Course (Online) from 22nd January 2022 to 6th February 2022 (Weekdays) on the theme: “The Economics of Constitutionalism: Principles and Practice<“?ith esteemed scholars and practitioners who specialize in the given topic.
ABOUT THE COURSE
Although Economics is taught as a core subject in law schools, there is a gulf existing between the theoretical teachings and practical applications of the subject vis-?vis law and public policy. There is a pertinent need for an interdisciplinary approach to aid students in understanding the functionality of the subject and its applicability in relation to Constitutional Law. Through this credit course, we aim to bridge this gap and enable students to appreciate the inextricable connection between Constitutional Law and Economics in certain matters and expose the students to the relevancy of the same in contemporary times. The goal is to help students to be in a better position so as to:
- Contribute to policy making vis-?vis economic considerations and factors.
- Evaluate the economic analysis behind constitutional questions and the tools and techniques?mployed therein.
- Analyse economic policies and schemes from a constitutional lens.
- Apply the acquired skills and tools in public policy research or think tank set-ups.
- Expose them to the notional thinking of professionals involved in this process. The course will also involve evaluation and class discussions.
- Understand the practical application of classroom teaching in diverse spheres of the legal field.
In view of the COVID-19 pandemic and to allow access to beyond geographical restrictions, the course shall be conducted online through Google Meet. The course shall be spread over 20 hours and classes shall be conducted on weekends from 22 January 2022 – 6 February 2022. The teaching time on any given day shall not extend beyond 4 hours. The course will be concluded with a panel discussion on 6 February 2022 with the theme “Emerging trends in constitutional economics in India and its place in the global scenario”.
