Note : This article is not meant to demean those who did well in CLAT 2010. It’s a purely personal opinion of the test . Well, I resisted dissing this whole CLAT rigmarole for a while because I did not want to sound like I was moaning and making excuses if I didn’t get through. But it turns out that...
A lawyer’s life is a tale to tell, a story of strife and verbal duel, with facts to fudge, and an eagle eyed judge, the robed fox , teases and talks. A client once asked, **“**My motives are masked, and my deeds are dark, will His Lordship hark, when you bumble and bark? ” The lawyer groped, for an ...
Hi all, I am not here for a prize in the blogging competition. Its too late for that. I want to use this forum to reach out to as many of you as I can. I am putting together a group of people who intend to make a difference by filing 7 RTI applications a week. Details have been put up here . Please ...
I’m a student - used in the most elastic sense - at an NLU. Like most law schoolites I know, I’ve been reading Legally India with interest these last few months. Like all good websites, LI appeals to every mood of a law student. Taken too long a lunch break while interning at your legal sweatshop? F...
Disclaimer : This obituary has been prepared on a presumption that Warren Anderson who is now 90 is likely to die soon, much to the relief (and yes, I mean relief) of all the victims of the gas tragedy of 1984 in Bhopal. This obituary can then potentially appear as a one page premium obituary which ...
I have here in this blog intended to write and comment on the international legal perspective surrounding the flotilla incident but since it is difficult to comment on any aspect of International Law without analyzing the real or projected politics behind it, I wish to put this disclaimer, before co...
This week Israel’s attack on flotilla ships carrying aid to Gaza strip found its place in headlines of all major dailies. This legally and politically sensitive issue has refused to die down and media is splashed with passionate anti- Israel sentiments from Arab countries, disapproving statements is...
All right let me confess.. the title is bit weird, it was hurriedly chosen. I know I know it makes me sound like a bimbette, but then you know a bimbette when you see one.. And this blog is not about law either.. as of now .. at least. So this is why I wrote it.. (yes yes, under this stupid title) H...

DISCLAIMER: This post has been inspired from the pure love that I have developed for the law over the past few months. ‘Law is a fundamental body of principles which has been codified.’ This is what most of us are taught at law school and with this we undertake the seemingly constant drudgery of lea...
A few days ago, the Prime Minister of India delivered a candid speech on legal education in India. There wasn’t much about it in the news. I’m guessing it was because he didn’t really nice things about the state of affairs in law schools across the country. I must say the speech was surprisingly can...
Here I am, writing my first post after being on LI since ages, knowing about the blogging competition since ages, being goaded to enter it since ages…all courtesy my friend Legal Poet. The guy is a gem. Anyway, the post is not about him (Sorry LLP :p). I have read more than a few posts. Some good, s...
Dear Prudence , I’m a law student in my fourth year and I’m thoroughly confused about what I want to do. Litigation is really interesting but I’m not sure how to go about it. People tell me that one doesn’t have a future in litigation unless one has a godfather. Should I give up my dreams and just j...
It’s surprising how a judgement which has affected so many lives is yet to be made available to the public. After searching online for almost an hour, I gave up. So much for the Indian Judiciary and the age of information. For now we will have to rely on the news outlets to tell us what exactly Judg...
