NAVĀRNAVA is a modern, independent academic publisher. Our peer-reviewed journals span contemporary and family law, interdisciplinary research, and comparative law & justice — open to scholarship from around the world.
We exist to give careful, original scholarship a rigorous and welcoming home — where ideas in law and allied disciplines are judged on merit, reviewed with integrity, and read across the world.
Our Journals
Each title is double-blind peer reviewed and editorially independent. More journals will join the NAVĀRNAVA family in the years ahead.
Scholarship on contemporary legal questions, family law and personal relationships, and the interdisciplinary study of law across the social sciences and humanities.
Comparative, international, and socio-legal scholarship on law, justice, governance, and rights across jurisdictions and legal traditions.
Fields of inquiry
Indicative areas for each journal. We read doctrinal, empirical, comparative, and mixed-methods work alike — what matters is originality and rigour.

Peer review, managed
Authors submit, track, and revise; reviewers accept invitations and score manuscripts; editors run desk checks, assign reviewers, and record decisions — all in one secure, modern workspace built for academic publishing.
Our editorial philosophy
Good scholarship earns its place through argument and evidence, not reputation. Our task is to protect that process — and to make it fair, timely, and genuinely useful to the reader.
Both journals are accepting original articles, case comments, review essays, and commentaries for their inaugural volumes. Submit through the NAVĀRNAVA editorial portal.
