There will be four sessions on relevant issues concerning the country's judicial system. These include 'judicial review and parliamentary democracy - balancing the separation of power' and 'appointments to higher judiciary - constraints of collegium system and reforms ahead'.
There will also be sessions on themes like 'structural reforms for overcoming delays in justice delivery' and 'scope of judicial powers; judicial activism'.
