Legally India
This is a short post introducing Legally India Topical or LIT, for short: the rebirth of LI’s venerable forums into a much more modern avatar 💎.

Little could I have predicted where this would go, when I first landed in Mumbai nearly seven years ago after having knocked together one of the worst-designed websites ever loaded by man or woman…
Legally India is looking to hire journalists, lawyers and those with a head for business who are not content with the status quo of the mainstream media and online reportage of all things legal, illegal and barely legal.
The Bar Council of India (BCI) chairman Manan Kumar Mishra has sent a letter to Legally India and 147 other recipients, including journalists, the President and Prime Minister of India, all Supreme Court judges and high court judges and others.
Excellent opportunities with top tier and smaller law firms, companies and an NGO across India!
We are trying an experiment in how legal journalism can become sustainable and remain independent. Please help make magic happen!
