A FIRST TASTE OF LAW
This was once a blog intended for the law students and law school aspirants. Years have passed, the team has grown and we have decided to delve deeper into the basics: of human character, of the law and the society, and opportunities, which lead us straight to hacking and making life easier. Now, this is not a mere guide to law schools any more, rather we shall endeavour to write on matters that stimulate an intelligent brain, legal or not, and make one strive to hack the syste...

Intellectual Property Audit
Intellectual Property Audit - A "How to" Guide.
“If you don’t measure it, you can’t manage it”.

The Recovery of Loans
The accepted practice is for people to approach civil courts for relief in respect of civil offences and for criminal offences to be tried in criminal courts. In addition to this, no one can be sent to gaol because of having committed a civil offence. Neither can people be jailed merely because they are unable to repay debts. This has been accepted not only at the national level but has in fact been enshrined in international covenants which have been signed by a vast majority of the world’s countries.
However, there are times when some financial...

It is a known fact that Chapter 23 of Cr.P.C. deals with provisions specifically related to bail but the epicentre of my article shall not be all the provisions related to bail but shall be...

New Delhi: Chief Justice of India-designate Justice S.H. Kapadia on Sunday said that it was incumbent upon judges and lawyers to learn commercial laws to compete in global environment and to lend stability to the recession-hit economy.
Delivering the valedictory address at a two-day national consultation for second generation reforms in legal education here, Justice Kapadia said: "I am reliably told that an impression is being formed that the judges and lawyers in India do not even conceptually have any knowledge of business and commercial laws."...

How To Get New Clients For Your Law Firm
Your law firm needs new clients in order to stay in business. Many law firms do not actively market their services and thus miss many potential clients. Since the demand and supply dynamics keep changing, it is crucial to keep ahead of competition and promote your services. Here are some methods of reaching out to potential clients.
1) Referrals
Most law firms get in touch with potential clients through a network of common friends and acquaintances. See who among them know potential clients, and (subtly) ask them to refer your firm to those...

Airtel is a premier telecom company in India. They offer services such as Mobile, Broadband, Landline and digitalTV to name a few. Their official website talks about their achievements and stuff.

Plain English and modern legal drafting - Part - 1
Part 1: What is plain English—really?
All legal writing should be appropriate for its audience—it should speak to the reader in words, sentences, and forms the intended reader can understand.

But in many transactions, particularly consumer transactions, the parties are not represented by counsel. The transactions are between nonlawyers without counsel or between a sophisticated...
Law and Morality - Sourav Mandal
Law and morality are too vague to understand. It must be added here that the notions of law and justice can't be captured and presented before us within a few sentences. These notions are too vast that even words are not sufficient to define them. Many jurists from the ancient Greek period to the modern and even the post-modern era have attempted numerously to define these concepts, but have failed. One of the reasons may be that the roots of these concepts lie somewhere within the human psyche, which is extremely random and versatile. Well it...
