INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE ROLE OF JUDICIARY IN UPHOLDING SOCIAL, ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL JUSTICE
The judiciary stands as a cornerstone in the edifice of justice, ensuring that the rights of individuals are protected and that societies remain equitable and democratic. In 2025, the Supreme Court of India marks a significant milestone-its 75th anniversary. Established in 1950, the Court has evolved into a cornerstone of India’s democracy, safeguarding the Constitution and ensuring justice for over a billion citizens. In India, the Judiciary’s role has extended beyond mere adjudication; it has encompassed the active promotion and protection of socio-economic and political justice, as envisioned in the Constitution. The moment is opportune to reflect not just on the Court’s transformative journey, its current challenges, and its future role in upholding the rule of law but also upon the larger question of the role of the judiciary in upholding the ideal of justice in any constitutional system.
The Centre for Constitutional Law and Human Rights, committed to critical legal research and transformative pedagogy, in collaboration with University of Leeds, U.K., is organising an international conference titled “Role of the Judiciary in Upholding Social, Economic and Political Justice.”
The present conference aims to explore the multifaceted role of the judiciary in upholding the different dimensions of justice across diverse legal systems. It further seeks to critically examine the various facets of justice-social, economic, political, legal, procedural, and distributive-and explore the contribution of judiciary in actualizing them within contemporary legal frameworks. It exhorts an exploration of avenues for strengthening the capacity of the judiciary to uphold social, economic, and political justice in an ever-evolving global landscape.
We invite original and unpublished research papers that engage with themes including, but not limited to Social Justice, Economic Justice, Political Justice, Procedural Justice, Judicial Independence and Accountability, Technology, transparency and the Future of Judicial Processes, Environmental Justice, Judicial Approaches to Sustainable Development
