As part of its litigation work, the Centre has taken up matters, mainly by way of public interest litigations, in the areas of disability law, tobacco regulation law and urban infrastructure development law. The team of CLPR consists of lawyers and academicians who work collectively to promote research oriented work. The Centre also has a wide network of experts such as academicians, advocates and research organisations with whom it partners on several projects in order to make substantial intellectual contributions to law and policy related matters.
