LawZ Magazine - February 2019

In this issue

In this issue, we are carrying an article on “National Food Security Act” which has always been of significant importance to India. Inspite of India achieving a high growth rate, hunger still exists in India due to shortage and misdistribution of food. The obtaining limit /purchasing capacity of the family for nutritious and quality sustenance is another basic factor that adds to extensive scale hunger in India.
Is there a difference between merger, amalgamation and acquisition! To get a peep into these terms, we are carrying an article. Interestingly, there has been an issue from a long time, as to whether there is any difference between Merger and Amalgamation. Pertinently, the word “amalgamation” or “merger” is not defined in the Companies Act, 2013.
Indian Law Association (ILA) was launched in India on January 1, 2018. It had its first Annual Conference at Taj Palace, New Delhi. May be it is worth the while, to closely follow the growth of this organization.

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.
