Beyond publishing — building capabilities.

The Centre for Legal Research and Studies (CLRS) is the academic initiative of VidhiAagaz. Through conferences, certificate courses and research mentoring, we help students and early-career scholars develop the skills that credible scholarship demands.

About CLRS

Where research capability is built

CLRS extends the VidhiAagaz mission from the page to the classroom. It convenes national and international conferences, issues calls for papers that culminate in ISBN-registered volumes, and supports researchers with the practical guidance that turns a promising idea into publishable scholarship.

The conviction is the same one we were founded on: it isn't just about your CV — it's about building your capabilities.
