I am privileged to present to all our dear readers the first volume of Journal for Law and Justice 2025. Congratulations to Prof. Pinki Sharma and her entire editorial team comprising faculty members and students, who have done an exemplary work by bringing out this issue regularly with enhanced zeal and quality! Students take a lead role in managing the students‘ Journal society as well as learning the skills of editing from a team of esteemed faculty members on the editorial board. Bringing out a student journal is an act of conviction. From the first draft to the final proof, each article has gone through a rigorous review and refinement. Sincere efforts need to be made to care a toddler journal, which can be seen when reading the articles. The present volume has selected articles on topics, such as competition law, constitutional law, cyber law, securities market regulation, international law relating to outer space, labour law, and the investment law. Seven long and short articles on these topics have been carefully peer-reviewed and sincerely edited by the entire editorial team. In addition, an attractive section, i.e., book review, adds another feather in the cap of this journal as it has selected three books- one on consumer law, another on IPR, and the last on Jurisprudence. This time, a case comment section is also added, which examines a much-discussed case law on investment. I wish the entire editorial team a great success in broadening the base of readers by this inspiring example. I wish this volume will not spark debates but contribute to shaping better laws in future.

We are pleased to share the latest edition of the Journal for Law and Justice. It showcases the sharp thinking and strong dedication of the student editorial board at Law Centre, II, University of Delhi. As the legal landscape changes quickly, this volume not only addresses those shifts but also contributes to the ongoing discussion. This issue guides readers through some of today‘s most pressing legal issues. It begins with the digital realm, looking at the challenges law enforcement faces with the hidden aspects of cybercrime and considering new ways to regulate digital markets. The focus then moves to outer space, where the challenges of managing commercial resource use beyond Earth become clear. The journal then grounds us in the fast-paced world of corporate finance, tracing the rise of Indian IPOs and examining the effects of recent policy changes. It then explores a complex issue that has challenged democracies for decades; the delicate balance between the Right to Protest and the needs of Public Order. This discussion naturally leads to our Case Comment section, which looks closely at Cairn Energy v. India. This arbitration is more than a legal case; it questions the very notion of sovereignty and could reshape international law for years. To enhance these analyses, our student reviewers offer new insights into both classic and modern scholarship. Their critiques cover the principles of ancient Indian law and the changing areas of consumer and biodiversity law. They weave together traditions and current challenges, showcasing the law‘s ongoing evolution. Together, these contributions are more than just articles or reviews; they form part of a broader dialogue about justice, governance, and society. This volume, created through the hard work of our student editorial board, demonstrates what can occur when bright, dedicated minds are given the space to question, examine, and innovate. I hope you will find its pages as thought provoking and rewarding as I did.

The release of this flagship journal signifies both an end and a beginning. It represents the completion of a long and often difficult process. This journey involves more than just gathering papers; it focuses on creating a coherent and meaningful intellectual product. Being a Student Editor, I am honoured to share some insights about the journey that brought this volume to you. The works featured in these pages emerged from a thorough selection process. Our editorial team, made up of committed student editors, faced the challenging task of identifying which submissions truly addressed current legal debates. We looked for strong arguments and new viewpoints; papers that would question assumptions, spark discussion and more significantly highlight the top notch legal research at Law Centre - II. This volume highlights our efforts with an exploration of several key themes. One example is the rise of digital society which is a force reshaping every aspect of law in a neoteric perspective. We present a focused inquiry into the legal framework of this new landscape, featuring a standout article on innovative digital market oversight. This piece exemplifies the forward looking research we support. Additionally, we delve into the intricate world of international arbitration through a detailed Case Comment on the Cairn Energy v. India arbitration. This goes beyond a mere summary and it carefully breaks down a case that challenges the idea of state sovereignty. It brilliantly shows how one legal conflict can resonate throughout the global legal system. Lastly, the Book Review section offers a moment for thoughtful reflection. The review of "Reflections on Ancient Indian Jurisprudence in the Current Social & Judicial Set-Up" connects our historical legal roots with today's complexities. It serves as a reminder that law is a continuous thread, not a series of separate events. The quality of the scholarship you have in your hands is a direct result of the hard work put in by our team. Every citation was checked, every argument refined, and every word chosen carefully. This unseen work helps maintain the integrity and reputation of this journal. We hope these selected pieces and the entire volume sparks your curiosity and encourage you to engage more deeply with the ever-changing world of law. 

Warm Regards,
