About HPNLU
Himachal Pradesh National Law University (HPNLU), Shimla, is a premier institution established to advance excellence in legal education, research and professional development. It combines doctrinal learning with critical analysis and is committed to interdisciplinary learning, innovation and public service.
About LIIC
The Legal Innovation & Incubation Cell (LIIC) at HPNLU is a student-driven initiative focused on rethinking how law is learned, practised and built. It brings together law students, practitioners and interdisciplinary collaborators to identify real-world legal challenges and develop practical solutions in the form of tools, frameworks, research outputs and early-stage ventures.

About INTERSECT
INTERSECT is the interdisciplinary magazine of LIIC, conceived as a platform to explore how law interacts with other domains of knowledge and human experience. It brings law into conversation with fields such as psychology, technology, design, economics and public policy. Each edition is built around a central theme. The inaugural issue, Law × Psychology, explored how cognition, emotion, memory and behaviour influence legal processes. INTERSECT takes a more accessible and reflective approach than a traditional journal while keeping intellectual depth, and welcomes analytical writing, visual frameworks and applied insights.
