ABOUT THE JOURNAL-Wisdom Crux

Wisdom Crux: Law Journal (ISSN: 2456-6233) is a freely accessible International peer-reviewed Law Journal aimed at establishing a platform to the original work of authors via an open access system to spread the significance and multi-disciplinary approach of law.

The fundamentals of care, accuracy, and impartiality guide the Journal to set a dual goal i.e. to publish a journal worth to litigants and to impart legal knowledge of value to students. 

India is bestowed with an abundance of legal resources and potential. But it’s of no use if everything is graded and comes with a price tag. Wisdom Crux solves this problem by extending an arm to all who seek legal knowledge and strives to update them.
