UPES’ National Book Review Competition [IGNITE 2016, Dehradun]: Register by Feb 15

Literary and Debating Society (LDS), College of Legal Studies, UPES is pleased to introduce the National Book Review event as a part of IGNITE 2016.

About

This event will test your adjudicating prowess in reviewing a book.

Now, coming to the books that we expect you to review; any book with a legal aspect will do.

We expect you to choose a book and may ask you to give us the justification which proves the legal aspect of that particular book, in case the title is not making the legal aspect of that particular book clear.

Also, novels with a legal plot will be considered. For example, novels like ‘How to kill a mockingbird’ or John Grisham’ novels will also be considered.

Rules

The book should have a legal aspect to it. You will be expected to give a justification as to the legal side of the book. For example, if you are choosing a book on International Relations, you will be required to give a review as such which will prove the legal perspective.

The word limit for the book review is 400-500 words.

The decision of the Judge will be binding and final.

All submissions will be ONLINE.
