About RGNUL Student Research Review

The RGNUL Student Research Review (RSRR) Publication is a biannual, student-run, blind peer-reviewed flagship journal based at Punjab’s Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law. It was established with the goal of encouraging black-and-white debates.

Call for Papers

The RGNUL Student Research Review invites papers and submissions for Volume 8, Issue 2, from academicians, practitioners, legal luminaries and students on the theme titled: “Unboxing the Legal Potential of the Sports & Gaming Industry: Redesigning India’s Way of Playing”
The sports and gaming industry in India is highly competitive and is undergoing rapid developments to expand its global reach. Sports and gaming laws encompass a wide array of legal fields like criminal, administrative, constitutional, and regulatory laws. Due to the cultural phenomenon of traditional sports and the advent of the internet and technology, the sports and gaming industry has undergone an unprecedented transformation in the last few decades.1 This, however, has been accompanied by a plethora of challenges. The absence of comprehensive laws and uniform regulations is the biggest lacuna which plagues the growth and development of this industry.
