National Law University Tripura hosted a power-packed two-day workshop bringing together law, policy, and democratic reform. In partnership with the Vidhi Centre for Legal Policy, the event spotlighted two critical themes:

Day 1: Reimagining Representation 

A deep dive into the Delimitation of Electoral Constituencies, led by Ms. Mayuri Gupta, Milon K Banerji Senior Resident at Charkha and Mr. Anshul Dalmia, Research Fellow at Charkha unpacked the hidden crisis of outdated electoral boundaries and representation gaps. Topics included:

• The 84th Constitutional Amendment and the 1971 Census freeze
• Emerging North-South representation imbalance
• Risks of gerrymandering, SC/ST dilution, and federal tension
• Real-time simulations and data-driven analysis

VOICES FROM THE CAMPUS:

“Representation isn’t just about voting—it’s about being seen.” – BA LLB Student

“This felt more like a democratic awakening than a lecture.” – LLM Scholar

Day 2: Writing Law, Persuading Justice 

From mooting to policy briefs, legal writing took center stage with focused sessions on Academic Writing and Memorial Drafting.

Highlights included:

• The ILAC method for argument structuring
• Crafting persuasive, precise, and logical memorials
• Bridging the gap between classroom theory and courtroom practice

VOICES FROM THE CAMPUS:

“Legal writing finally makes sense—this was a game-changer.” – Moot Court Enthusiast

“Now I argue with clarity, not just passion.” – BA LLB 2nd Year

Voices from NLUT Faculty: 

“Workshops like this bring the law alive.”

“It was constitutional law in action—and students rose to the challenge.”

The Takeaway: Experience two transformative themes over the course of two days, culminating in one unforgettable journey!

More than just a workshop—it was a conversation starter, a skills lab, and a call to action.

From redefining representation to mastering legal writing, the workshop sparked curiosity, built skills, and stirred purpose. Students didn’t just learn about the law—they learned to think, write, and question like lawyers.

Democracy needs voices. The law needs clarity. And the future is already in motion—right here at NLUT.
