LEXPRESS is an annual college magazine that aims to uphold its commitment to expressing and conveying information in a comprehensive, accurate, and unbiased manner. It understands the importance of expressing different viewpoints, opinions, and ideas while maintaining a commitment to factual information while it provides with an opportunity to our young writers, photographers. artists, and other creative individuals to showcase their talents and share their perspectives.

LEXPRESS 2022-2023 has taken on the theme of Social Media: A world of Make-believe. It has been over a decade that social media platforms have been prevalent in India. There are many sides to be considered to the aspect of social media including the legal side. This year's LEXPRESS Volume attempts to bring out the obvious and lesser-discussed side of social media. These perspectives range from the difference in life due to social media, legal aspects surrounding social media, the authenticity of social media, things to be considered while using social media and so on. Hence, to discuss and know the thoughts of students on this it was wisely selected as the theme of the magazine this year.

The magazine brings out a fresh batch of poetry, memes, and photography collection to lighten the reader's mood. A student may like to present creative ideas in the form of short narrative, essay. humor, fiction, puzzles, or cartoons within and beyond the legal field. Similarly, a student may be interested in publishing interviews of eminent personalities, book reviews, critics, and translations. An advantage for students to make use of LEXPRESS for their debut in literature is that, there is no language barrier. A student has the freedom to write depending upon his/her command over a language.

The committee takes an immense pleasure as we thank Retd. Justice Kathawala as he inspires and captivate our readers with his Foreword and Mr. Johny Lever for launching the cover page of this year's magazine. The collaboration between esteemed personalities such as them and our college. motivates us to continue striving for excellence in our endeavors.
