handle is hein.journals/nujslr12 and id is 1 raw text is: 12 NUJS L. Rev. 1 (2019) Editorial Note The publication of the 12' Volume of the NUJS Law Review represents the dedication and hard work of the different generations of students, professors, and practitioners. From this year onwards, the Editorial Board and other members of the journal shall work under the leadership of the new Editor-in-Chief - Professor N. K. Chakrabarti, the new vice chancellor of the West Bengal National University of Juridical Sciences. Professor Chakrabarti has published seven books and authored more than seventy articles and research papers in national and international journals. Moreover, he had also been the director of the Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT) University's School of Law in Bhubaneshwar for nearly one decade. The newly selected Editorial Board and the other members of the journal look forward to working under his mentorship. We would also like to thank Professor M. P. Singh, the founder of the NUJS Law Review, for his continued guidance and motivation to the Editorial Board till date, as well as his contribution to the journal. The Law Review has been at the forefront of legal scholarship for more than a decade now, attempting to shape discussions on the most topical and relevant topics. In this regard, we are happy to share with you that the NUJS Law Review recently appeared in the top position in the initiative undertaken by SCC Online of ranking the top ten law journals based on the number of times they are accessed on SCC Online in a calendar month, in the first month of this initiative. Apart from printing the journal onto paper, the student editors and members have been running the entire process, including soliciting and selecting and editing articles for publication and formatting them as per the NUJS Law Review Citation Standard. Their untiring efforts and commitment to the journal has led to the journal being able to maintain its quarterly nature while providing exceptional articles in its twelfth year of publication. This issue as well presents some ground-breaking scholarship by established authors and emerging voices in the legal academia on issues of national significance. Professor Dipika Jain's article titled 'Time to rethink Criminalisation of Abortion? Towards a Gender Justice Approach' argues for the decriminalisation of abortions in order to entitle complete autonomy to women over their health. She draws these rights from the fundamental rights of bodily autonomy and integrity, further illustrating the inclusion of the right to reproductive and decisional autonomy under such fundamental rights. This article scrutinises the two primary impediments of access to safe abortion services - first, third-party authorisation requirements; and second, the law against sex-determination of foetuses. The author demonstrates how these barriers create an undesirable delay in accessing abortions and cause a chilling effect on the medical practitioners. After outlining the inadequacy in the legal dimensions with respect to abortions, the author argues for an urgent need to decriminalise abortions and reform the laws after consulting all the relevant stakeholders. In 'Determination of Environmental Compensation: The Art of Living Case', authors Professor Rosencranz and Raghuveer Nath exhibit critical argumentation over the absence of an effective framework to determine compensation in environmental matters. The authors explore the various reasons that inhibit the National Green Tribunal ('NGT') from doing so - first, NGT's erroneous trend of imposing compensation at five percent of the January-March, 2019 NUJS Law Review
