The Annual Survey of Indian Law (ASIL) is one of India’s most prestigious legal reference publications. Published annually by the Indian Law Institute since 1965, ASIL provides a comprehensive review of significant legal developments in India during a particular year. Over the decades, it has become an indispensable resource for legal scholars, judges, practitioners, researchers and legal academia.

The role of ASIL extends beyond merely reporting judicial decisions. It critically examines, interprets, and evaluates legislative and judicial developments, thereby offering valuable insights into evolving legal trends and their broader implications. Legal developments are systematically classified branch-wise, making the publication an important and reliable source for legal research and academic inquiry. Unlike ordinary law reports that primarily reproduce judgments, ASIL adopts a subject-oriented and analytical approach.

Each contributor to ASIL works within a specific branch of law and undertakes the important task of critically analyzing developments during the relevant year. This scholarly engagement helps readers appreciate the impact of legislative and judicial changes on the legal system and society at large.
