A colloquium on “Are Vices Crimes” was organised at Amity Law School, Mumbai, on October 12, 2018, which led to an academic movement enhancing intellectual activities in the Mumbai Campus. The application for participation was restricted only to the students of Amity Law School, Mumbai.
On the onset of the colloquium, the moderator explained the participants about various facets and rules of the colloquium. A reader, pertaining to the topic was provided beforehand to the students to go through the contents and glance through the arguments of the author.
A group of 23 students sat together in a closed circle and decrypted the tonalities of the topic. The discussion was compartmentalised into four sections – Against Autonomy: Justifying Coercive Paternalism; Vices Are Not Crimes; Ain’t Nobody’s Business If You Do; Whither Equality?
