Sedition is an action in contempt of the state violating the social contract that we as citizens partake. The act of sedition has taken different interpretation since the course of time, from encompassing and enforcing restrictions to human liberties under its purview from the British rule to being alleged to of so today. The Supreme Court has however limited its scope and application as being the dutiful watchdog of the constitution, to prevent misuse by the legislature.
The legislature, ever embroiled in debate and doubt, has though given way for an excellent scheme of recognition of prior learning which enables formalisation of unorganised workforce and thereby increasing their competencies.
Lastly, a feature on estimation of medical negligence claims describes the implication of various contract doctrines and the fallouts in calculation of unquantifiable value.

Read all stories from LawZ Magazine

LawZ Magazine Description:

LawZ released its first issue in August, 2001. The intent was to create a magazine about the law and the legal field, but with a difference. LawZ is India s first comprehensive monthly law magazine for all.The magazine not only covers events relating to the Indian legal system but also makes an effort in comparing it with the legal systems across the globe.

Instead of being of interest only to lawyers and others involved in the legal profession, the aim was to create something that could be read, understood, and even enjoyed by those who do not have formal knowledge of law. In short, it was to be more than a dry, ponderous collection of articles written in the oft arcane language of the court. Nor was it to focus solely on India, because today no news is complete unless it touches on the world at large.

The magazine reaches to all the judges of the Supreme Court, High Courts, Bar Council of India, Lawyers, Law Colleges and Institutions, top Indian and foreign Law Firms, Indian Corporates and Multinational Companies and Legal departments of government and Semi-government agencies, Corporate houses and several Embassies.

The magazine is presently in its 15th year of publication and is receiving tremendous response and appreciation from all the sections of the society and today is the only legal magazine, which has attained its present status in such a short span of time.

We’ve come a long way since our first issue. Today, it is regarded as a benchmark and a trailblazer in legal journalism.
