Some Lighter Moments.

I get to correct papers written by law students. Occassionally certain gems reduce the monotony of evaluating a hundred similar answers.
Here are two from a recent testpaper that I jotted in my collection today.
"The Supreme Court is a Court of Record with the power to condemn and punish itself."
"To be a Judge of the Supreme Court of India a person must be an opponent of the President or a distinguished jurist."
But then, was it my inability to convey the correct idea that resulted in this kind of an answer? Tomorrow, I have to check it up with the students concerned.

Getting Started.Objectives.
Just getting started. Let me place my objectives here, lest I may forget why I started this at all.
Humans in this world have reached this stage by sharing ideas and allowing space for each other. Ideas, views, comments about anything and everything in some way or the other will influence the society, now or in future. Pathbreaking ideas are not born in isolation. They are always accompanied by lesser ones. This blog will attempt a comment on anything that affects me profoundly and I would try to place my comment in a philosophical context taking into account the larger picture. I am a lawyer by profession and I teach law for a living. Whether I wish it or not, my comments and subjects will reflect my profession and socio-cultural background. Hence the name LawSpot for the blog.
