At LitSoc, we have long realised the need for some time and space for one's own self in the grueling life of a law school.We wanted to know, given a relaxed moment and an appropriate platform, what your imagination could create. The idea culminated into our online magazine, Sauce. So we invite you to come share your creativity with the world through poems, prose, art, comics and anime. Talk about your campus moments with others. Tell us about any mesmerizing music album or a book worth reading, and lots more! Check out the first issue of Sauce here. 

We look forward to your contribution and support. =)
