About Srinagar Law Journal

A Legacy of Legal Reporting Since 1979

 

Srinagar Law Journal (SLJ)

Srinagar Law Journal (SLJ) is a leading law reporting journal from Jammu & Kashmir, committed to delivering accurate, timely, and authoritative legal knowledge to the Bench, the Bar, and the wider legal community.

“Placing before the legal fraternity the latest word on law.”

Our Story

Founded in 1979 by Hakim Ishtiaq Hussain, Senior Advocate, SLJ was born out of a pressing need—the lack of accessible, reliable, and up-to-date legal material in the region. What began as a modest initiative quickly evolved into a pioneering legal publication, bridging the gap between judicial pronouncements and legal practice.
