The '''''Banaras Law Journal''''' is a [[legal journal]] published by the [[Banaras Hindu University Press]] on behalf of [[Faculty of Law, Banaras Hindu University]]. It was established in 1965, when no other Indian university was publishing such a journal.<ref>{{Cite web |first=Rajeev |last=Dikshit |date=8 May 2022 |title=Become Law Professionals Who Are Free And Fearless |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/varanasi/become-law-professionals-who-are-free-and-fearless/articleshow/91408951.cms |access-date=2022-07-18 |website=The Times of India}}</ref><br />

==Reception==<br />
Following publication of the first issue, a 1966 review in the ''[[International and Comparative Law Quarterly]]'' welcomed its appearance as "a matter of great pleasure" which was "long overdue".<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal |last=Misra |first=B. N. |date=1966 |title=[Review of Banaras Law Journal] |url=http://www.jstor.org/stable/757226 |journal=[[The International and Comparative Law Quarterly]] |volume=15 |issue=2 |pages=614–615 |jstor=757226}}</ref> A review in the ''[[Journal of the Indian Law Institute]]'' said that ''Banaras Law Journal'' had made a "promising beginning", stating, "A very interesting feature of the first issue lies in the publication of L.L.M. and Ph.D. work being carried out at the University; it would be very valuable if other Indian universities provided similar information."<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Hasson |first=R.A. |date=1965 |title=[Review of The Aligarh Law Journal, Vol. I, No. 1; The Banaras Law Journal, Vol. I., No. 1] |journal=Journal of the Indian Law Institute |volume=7 |issue=1/2 |pages=170–171 |jstor=43949894}}</ref><br />
<br />
By 1987, an article in the ''[[Modern Law Review]]'' observed that most well known law faculties in India were trying to start their own law journals, while noting that "''The Banaras Law Journal'' and ''Jaipur Law Journal'' have suffered some decline after an impressive head start."<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Dhavan |first=Rajeev |date=October 1987 |title=Means, Motives and Opportunities: Reflecting on Legal Research in India |journal=[[Modern Law Review]] |volume=50 |issue=6 |pages=725–749 |doi=10.1111/j.1468-2230.1987.tb01736.x |jstor=1096030}}</ref> In 2010, an article on legal education in India published in the ''[[BYU Education & Law Journal]]'' listed ''Banaras Law Journal'' as one of the prominent national law journals, along with the ''[[Jaipur Law Journal]]'' and the ''[[Delhi Law Review]]''.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Kadambi |first=Rajeev |date=2010 |title=One Such Pattern in the Indian Legal Academy |url=https://www.proquest.com/docview/818335682 |journal=Education & Law Journal |volume=20 |issue=2 |pages=129–171 |id={{ProQuest|818335682}} }}</ref><br />
