LawZ Magazine - February 2020

In this issue

Mental Health is a heavily underreported area of concern in India. Despite numerous and compelling evidence to the contrary, there is a general unseen consensus attributing it to a similar pedestal as to a ‘lifestyle disease’. It is an issue that not only covers the socio-economic but also very much so is included in the legal scenario.
With the budget-making on its way, in the hope to revitalize the economy, we need to scrutinize whether the economic slowdown is in root from the supply side i.e from a decline in production and thereby lesser wages, or the decreasing disposable income because of excess demand.
We also look into a brief perspective on gambling laws in the country and view its transformation with the advent and proliferation of internet gambling.

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.
