State Law, Dispute Processing And Legal Pluralism

Dr Kalindi Kokal is a post-doctoral fellow in the Centre for Policy Studies at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Mumbai, India. She completed her doctorate in law from the Martin Luther University in Halle, Germany, with a fellowship from the Department of Law and Anthropology at the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology, Germany. Kokal’s interest in exploring law as a social process stems from her earlier experience as a practising lawyer in the Bombay High Court. Her current work broadly focuses on themes related to law and society in India in particular and in South Asia more generally.
