by Shri Ram College of Law, Muzaffarnagar
Shri Ram College of Law, Muzaffarnagar is organising a One-Week National Workshop on Research Methodology, Research Ethics and Publication Strategy, scheduled from 1 to 6 June 2026. The workshop is designed as a structured, progressive learning experience that takes participants through the full arc of academic research — from identifying a research problem to publishing findings in a reputable journal.
The programme follows a Four Quadrant approach to ensure comprehensive coverage across conceptual, practical, ethical, and strategic dimensions of research. Sessions will be delivered by resource persons from institutions such as the National Forensic Science University, Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia National Law University Lucknow, Amity University, and Chaudhary Charan Singh University. Live sessions will be held over Microsoft Teams or Google Meet, with Google Classroom serving as the central hub for study materials, attendance, coordination, and communications.
This is an online, fee-based workshop with a registration fee of ₹500 per participant. A certificate of participation is available upon completion, making this a concrete addition to your academic and professional profile.
Career significance & professional impact
Research methodology training is one of the most undervalued yet career-defining skills in the legal academic world. Whether you are targeting a teaching career, a research fellowship, a Ph.D. programme, or simply aiming to publish in a reputed law journal, demonstrating that you understand how to research — not just what to research — sets you apart from peers who rely solely on intuition and imitation.
This workshop carries specific career value in the following ways:
At ₹500, the cost-to-value ratio of this workshop is notably strong compared to similar offline training programmes, making it accessible for students across institution types.
For postgraduate law students and early-career researchers, this workshop addresses one of the most persistent gaps in legal education: how to actually conduct and publish quality research. Many students can read case law and draft arguments, but structured training in research design, ethics, and publication strategy is rarely part of the formal curriculum.
This workshop is directly relevant if you are working on a dissertation, planning to submit to a law journal, or considering an academic or research-oriented career. The sessions cover doctrinal, empirical, comparative, qualitative, quantitative, and multidisciplinary research approaches — giving you a vocabulary and framework that applies across legal subdisciplines. The dedicated module on responsible use of artificial intelligence in academic research is particularly timely, equipping you to navigate AI tools with integrity.
Beyond content, the workshop exposes you to faculty and resource persons from multiple reputed institutions, opening avenues for mentorship and academic networking. The certificate issued upon completion signals to future supervisors, employers, and journal editors that you have invested in research capacity-building — a quality that stands out in competitive academic and professional contexts.
The workshop is open to the following categories of participants:
The workshop does not appear to restrict participation by institution type, meaning students from both National Law Universities and affiliated or state law colleges may apply. There is no mention of a team-based format — this is an individual participation opportunity. No specific nationality restriction is stated, but the workshop is described as a National Workshop, which typically implies it is primarily intended for participants within India.
If you are an undergraduate law student (B.A. LL.B. or B.B.A. LL.B.) in the early years of your programme, you may not fall within the stated eligibility categories. However, if you are in the final year of an integrated programme and are actively working on research, it is advisable to confirm your eligibility directly with the organiser before applying.

To make the most of this workshop, consider the following practical steps before and during the programme:
A: The stated eligibility covers faculty members, research scholars, postgraduate students, and early-career researchers. A standard LL.B. student may not squarely fit these categories. However, if you are in the final year and are actively engaged in research, it is best to contact the organiser directly to confirm whether an exception applies in your case.
A: The opportunity data does not mention a refund policy. You should clarify this directly with Shri Ram College of Law, Muzaffarnagar before making the payment, especially since the deadline and start date are close together.
A: The workshop confirms that a certificate is available, and attendance is tracked through Google Classroom. It is reasonable to expect that certificate issuance will be linked to attendance and participation in academic exercises. The organiser's specific certificate policy should be confirmed at the time of registration or orientation.
A: The data available does not confirm whether sessions will be recorded. Since attendance is tracked and the workshop uses a structured daily format, missing live sessions may affect your eligibility for a certificate. Contact the organiser in advance to understand their policy on missed sessions.
A: There is no mention of formal recognition by BCI or any regulatory authority in the available information. The workshop is an institutional academic initiative by Shri Ram College of Law, Muzaffarnagar. Its value lies primarily in the training content, the calibre of resource persons, and the certificate for your CV — rather than any regulatory endorsement.
