A just and fair world includes everyone, accommodates people on the fringes, and ensures equal protection to all. An inclusive society is a just society.
Inclusivity in law is an area of both desire and debate. While some progress has been made , much needs to be done in order to create a just legal system. Inclusivity in law requires greater participation from across disciplines; we need environmentalists, linguists, educators, medical experts, economists, political theorists, social activists, and artists to share their knowledge and expertise for a legal system that is truly inclusive.
The law plays an important role in promoting diversity, equality and inclusion, but can also be seen as a source of inequality and division. What does it mean to look at diversity and inclusion from a legal perspective? How can teaching and the study of law contribute to a more inclusive society?
All laws can be made inclusive by providing an umbrella of protection to all, particularly the most marginalized. We need to devote time for reflections aimed at bringing forth multidisciplinary perspectives to make laws more applicable, creative, innovative, and thus - just, fair and reasonable.
It is the duty of institutions to foster inclusion and address exclusionary practices. In this regard, the conference sought to offer a road map to ensure inclusivity in law by facilitating a common platform for members of the legal fraternity and all its allied fields. This book has been the outcome of this endeavor.
I would like to take this opportunity to laud the unstinting efforts of the institution, the organizing faculty, and the student-editorial body, and extend my heartiest wishes for all future endeavors of the institution.
