Legal Notes Magazine - September 2018

In this issue

The September 2018 edition of Legal Notes focuses on arbitration and the difficulties India faces in becoming a hub of arbitration. Today, most corporate entities and multinational corporations do not take their cases to court. Instead they fly off to Singapore or London for arbitration which is a less time-consuming and cheaper option. What do we lack and why do international arbitration cases not come to India? The issue also looks at the recent directive of the Uttarakhand High Court that has given animals as much rights as humans. The story also takes into account animal rights in the US and the debate that is going on against it. There is profile of Sudhir Ojha, an advocate from Muzaffarpur in Bihar, who has taken on himself the role of a moral crusader. In addition, there are three spreads on the Burqa ban in Europe, the Blasphemy law in Punjab and the Supreme Court's suo motu initiative to clean up the "unholy mess" in our religious places. Plus: the regular pages.
