[Reader-list] Between Law and Justice - A Reader on Law and Society

[Lawrence Liang]

Hi All

Any one who has done research on "Law and Society" in India will know 
how difficult the terrain can  be because of the fact that a lot  of the 
material is scattered in various places (defunct journals, musty 
libraries). A few of us have started a modest attempt at putting 
together a database of research  on law and society in India. This has 
primarily entailed photocopying and scanning articles from different 
sources.

We have put together Version 1 of this database "Between Law and 
Justice:  A Law and Society Reader". The database is in the form of a 
DVD and  currently has around 400 articles covering the following issues.


1. Legal histories
Colonial
Postcolonial
2. Constitutional promises and perils
3. Siting struggles: human rights and social justice
4. Roti, kapadda aur makaan: law, livelihood and development
5. Supreme, yet fallible
6. Crime and punishment
7. Access to justice
8. Citizens/denizens
9. Edge of desire: law, gender and sexuality
10. In a minority
11. Green justice
12. Media law & free speech
13. Governance
14. Life of law amidst globalisation
15. Legal education
16. Interdisciplinary challenges
17. International law
