    Institutional Expansion

    The Global Advisory Council is currently expanding through a rigorous and invitation-only process. We are carefully selecting a small cohort of global experts in judicial review, human rights, and constitutional governance to join Professor Khaitan. This deliberate approach ensures that the council remains a focused body dedicated to anchoring our mission and safeguarding the rule of law.
