LawZ Magazine - January 2020

في هذه القضية

LawZ wishes its readers a successful new decade and the completion of all the resolutions we set for ourselves. LawZ hopes to launch a Video Learning Platform available for everyone without any cost on Youtube during this year. We hope winds to divert from the sardonic to the empowering and for each of us to focus and act on issues we truly care to fully enact roles of societal participants.
An area subject to focus is of Pharmaceutical Patents, where, especially in India, there is lack of access to affordable medical drugs, perhaps due to a scarcity in the quantum and diversity of production of generic drugs. Recently, the Supreme Court ruled on ever greening of pharmaceutical drugs which is patenting similar strains of drugs, consequently preventing production of generic drugs.
Another important matter of great importance we face is of the autonomy of the election commission and the seemingly impending termination of India's status of the world's largest democracy. It is before the Election Commission to fairly evaluate the issues before themselves to judge the growing criminalisation of politics in the country.
However, apart from whatever we are in perception of, it is the issues that are closest to us at heart, that we should resolve to make a difference for over the course this decade if not for this year. Let's make and be part of change.

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.
