"One may well ask: 'How can you advocate breaking some laws and obeying others?' The answer lies in the fact that there are two types of laws: just and unjust. I would be the first to advocate obeying just laws. One has not only a legal, but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. I would agree with St. Augustine that "an unjust law is no law at all."
I hold the same reverence for the law as expressed above. I am motivated to study it because of the profound and overt connection the law has with people around the world—a relationship I believe will never change. On this note, I reflect on the words of Sydney Smith in Peter Plymley's Letters:
"When I hear any man talk of an unalterable law, the only effect it produces upon me is to convince me that he is an unalterable fool."
These reflections were the very reasons that inspired me to start blogging.
I am what is often referred to as a “non-traditional” law blogger because I did not come from any NLU. Instead, I earned my degree at City Law College, affiliated with Lucknow University. While in law school, I diligently built my legal foundation through internships, moot court competitions, debates, and publications. My experiences included an internships under Senior Advocate in Supreme Court, Advocates in High Court, which deeply shaped my practical understanding of the legal field.
I began writing in my third year of law school, driven by the intention to showcase the empowerment that comes with understanding and knowing how to use the law. Moreover, I found satisfaction in helping others gain that same sense of empowerment.
Now, as a practicing advocate, my work is driven by the same passion that inspired me to start writing during my student years. My blog is a space where I aim to demystify the law and empower readers by making complex legal concepts accessible and actionable. Through thoughtful analysis and real-world applications, I strive to bridge the gap between the Laymen & Lawmen.
