There was a lot of coverage on the IDIA initiative ( Click here to read about the initiative ). I like what they’re trying to do here. However, the numbers are stacked wildly against anyone trying to bring in change. There are three hurdles one has to get through to become a student of law at a top ...

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.
