About the Centre
​The Centre for Comparative Constitutional Law and Administrative Law (CCAL) is established under the patronage of the Vice Chancellor of National Law University Jodhpur, Professor Poonam Pradhan Saxena. The Centre publishes its flagship Journal and Blog under the guidance of our Director, Professor I.P. Massey and members of the Advisory Board such as Former CJI M.N. Venkatachaliah, Senior Advocate Rajeev Dhawan and Professor Timothy Endicott amongst others. We attempt to create a niche in the field of comparative constitutional law and administrative law discourse by discussing existing precedents and the constant changes that are taking place in the field. Our endeavour is to promote a wide-scale engagement not only limited to students pursuing law, but also academicians and other legal luminaries alike.
Writ[e] & Talk
Writ[e] & Talk podcast is a recent initiative of the Centre started in 2022. With the help of this podcast, the Centre aims to bring clarity and to build discussion when it comes to writing on Constitutional Law and Administrative Law. We aim to interview authors of academic papers on varied subject matters that the journal deals with.
We seek to go in-depth with the theme of their piece, the arguments they raise in their article, their journey of discovering the topic, the methods and techniques used by them to derive their arguments and so on. This initiative is an attempt to increase dialogue, discussion and engagement with legal writing.
Our podcast is available on Spotify, Google Podcasts and Youtube. Transcripts of the episodes and links to relevant reading material can be found on our blog, Pith & Substance: The CCAL Blog.
