JLSS operates with an exceptional degree of independence, guided by an esteemed Editorial Board meticulously overseeing the journal’s scholarly endeavours. This editorial team is enriched by the wisdom and guidance of Advisory Board members and the invaluable contributions of Associate Fellows affiliated with the esteemed Advance Legal Research Foundation (ALRF). The ALRF brings together a distinguished cohort of faculty members from national and international higher education institutions, forming the bedrock of JLSS’s success. 

At the core of JLSS’s existence lies a compelling mission to champion international standards, and high-quality research across the diverse landscape of law and social studies. Our mandate extends to a comprehensive spectrum of disciplines, embracing commerce, economics, and business. We aim to elucidate the theoretical and applied challenges that confront academia, researchers, legal practitioners, jurists, economists, policymakers, managers, businesses, and society at large, with a particular emphasis on the pivotal subject of Economics, serving as the mother discipline that underpins it all. 

The ethos of JLSS is rooted in the creation of an intellectually stimulating forum, a space where researchers, academicians, and business practitioners can freely engage, sharing their innovative ideas, experimental findings, and insights on legal, social, and business-related themes and topics. This environment is not just supportive but genuinely thought-provoking, driving discourse and discovery. 

Published under the auspices of the esteemed Advance Legal Research Foundation (ALRF), JLSS’s primary objective is to disseminate dependable knowledge, foster high-quality research, and initiate meaningful debate in a multidisciplinary context. We specialize in the scrutiny of societies, behaviors, social and legal challenges, businesses and societies, economies, and, most crucially, the formulation of guidelines and solutions based on rigorous doctrinal, empirical, and applied research. 

Our doors are wide open to scholars, researchers, and contributors from all walks of life, offering a warm welcome to both individuals and groups. JLSS eagerly anticipates research papers, articles, relevant theoretical frameworks, and comprehensive reviews that stand as monuments to the creation of reliable and authentic knowledge in the expansive domains of Law and social studies.
