  • McGill GLSA Research Series

    The “McGill GLSA Research Series” is an annual publication after the Graduate Law Student Association (GLSA) Conference. As the conference is organised under a different theme every year, the theme of the publication will also change accordingly, apart from a section devoted to international law. In addition to the yearly publication, the “Research Series” also hopes to provide a space for publication of ‘Special issues’, devoted to the publication of proceedings after other events co-organised by the GLSA or with participation of McGill Law graduate students.
