Dear Young Law Students/ Young Lawyers, #guidancebynitinpotdar I recently had the pleasure of answering some thought-provoking questions from the students St. Joseph's College of Law, Bengaluru, and one query that stood out was: "How should one study any law that's not part of our syllabus?" I know simplicitor reading any bare act or a commentary could be terribly boring, and you may not be able to make much progress. So here is what I had to say : (1) Start with the Basics: Before diving into the main act, carefully go through the objective, preamble, and the overall scheme of the Act. Understanding the foundation is key to grasping the intricacies that follow. (2) Grasp the Essentials: Pay close attention to key definitions and the operative sections. These lay the groundwork for your comprehension of the law's application. (3) Context is Key: Seek out important Supreme Court decisions (or other relevant court rulings) related to the Act. Try and understand the facts so that you get some context while reading. And why I suggest try reading teh SC case because it would also give you a good idea of how it was interpreted by the High Court or lower courts. This would make it more relatable and easier to digest. For instance, take a deep dive into Acts like the SEBI Takeover Regulations or the Competition Act. You'll find a wealth of knowledge in the form of landmark Supreme Court / SEBI / Competition Commision decisions that offer invaluable insights into the interpretation and application of these laws. Understanding these Acts and Regulations isn't just academic; it's a crucial step towards becoming a stellar Corporate Lawyer. So, to all the aspiring lawyers out there, I encourage you to venture beyond your syllabus and explore the rich tapestry of laws waiting to be discovered. It's a journey that promises growth, insight, and a deeper understanding of the legal landscape. What's your approach to studying unfamiliar laws? Share your insights and experiences. #lawstudents #lawinterns #lawschools #lawfirm #students #legaleducation #inhousecounsel #generalcounsel #corporatecounsel

Just for any #LawStudents out there, fascinated by how the Common Law has developed our legal system, think about this: 1. An event happened. 2. Different people had different experiences of that event. 3. The fact that it wasn't clear cut meant that they litigated. 4. The versions of events that they provided in their evidence were given years after the event, potentially shaped by memories, conscious and subconscious pressures of litigation, and the challenges from the other side. 5. The judge listened to that evidence, and picked the bits which they, the judge, thought relevant, and ignored other parts of the evidence which they didn't. 6. The judge made findings of fact on the balance of probability, which may or may not actually have happened. 7. The judge gave a judgment which was sufficiently capable of being criticised that the loser sought permission to appeal (requiring a real possibility that the judge below got it wrong). 8. The appellate court (if any) took the facts as the judge found them (see 6) as a given, and then decided how the law should be applied to those facts, and stated the law accordingly. 9. The media, if they're remotely interested, print a non-legalistic version that will sell papers. 10. The lawyers move on to their next case. 11. The litigants try to move on with their lives. 12. Law students get excited and think of the day that they will be able to apply (8) to a completely different (1). And repeat. That is how our system is supposed to work. It's fascinating.
