The International Law Students Association Chapter at the School of Legal Studies, Cochin University of Science and Technology, conducts a Research Colloquium on Public International Law.

About SLS, CUSAT

The School of Legal School is one of the oldest Law Schools in India. The Law School was initially started as a part of Kerala University in 1962 and subsequently became part of Cochin University in 1971.

In the spirit of exploring and furthering legal research, SLS has accommodated various organizations and clubs under its wing. In its latest endeavour, SLS introduced a chapter of the International Law Students Association (ILSA) to promote and advocate international law, study and research. In keeping the true spirit of the ILSA, the SLS Chapter introduces a Research Colloquium on Public International Law.

About the Conference

The Research Colloquium aims to facilitate the opportunity to gain valuable skills and knowledge regarding various facets of Public International Law.

International relations are absolutely necessary in the exigencies of the modern world, and for this reason, the importance of the study and research of Public International law ought to be stressed. Although Public International Law is a subject taught in every law school in India, the depts of this vast subject cannot be reasonably explored with the current syllabus framework.
