Could you guys please help a fresher regarding what topics to research and publish papers.
Everyone around keeps saying publish papers , but how to go about it. What topics to be researched etc.
Kindly help
1. Instead of looking for a topic, just start reading. The more you read, the more number of perspectives you learn. The more perspectives you learn, you start forming your own based on the rationale behind each opinion. The more you read you also understand how to analyse a problem critically and how to articulate your opinion on it.
My approach to writing is problem solving. I spot a problem and through my writing I try to find solution to that problem.
2. Don't confine yourself to one subject or even just legal reading. Read economics, history, perhaps something relating to management. Variety of reading allows you to domain hop. In essence, sometimes you find a solution in one domain which you can apply to the domain that you want to write on.
I hope this helps.
They were helpfully framed as an 'Introduction to Academic Legal Writing' in 3 parts. Hope this gets you started.

(I cannot sit idle and wait till I gain a substantial knowledge of the subject to write up stuff, where people around me are acing at it, I've got a CV to take care of).
Anything insightful to this conundrum of mine will be much appreciated : D
The following are a few questions that come to mind:
1. How do you come up with a topic?
2. How do you conduct research on a subject?
3. What factors do you consider when analysing a topic?
4. How should I start writing?
5. How do you review your papers
6. Finally, what are some of the considerations I should make while writing?
Thank you in advance :)
