Are you a lawyer? Will you be in Delhi on Wednesday, 27 January? Do you have a pulse?
Then you’re cordially invited to the return of Legally Social, hosted by the lawyers-doing-good-things NGO iProBono and Legally India.
Where?
Backyard, A/2A, Sri Aurobindo Marg, Near Sartaj Hotels, Hauz Khas, Delhi [Google Map link]
When?
From 7pm till late
What?
A free welcome cocktail and 20 per cent discount on food and drinks at the bar.
Why?
Because it’s fun to see each other, plus there’ll be a chance to learn about a legal movement to end inequality.
iProbono will briefly present a riveting case study of the law in action in Madhya Pradesh.

Advocates, law firm partners and associates, NGO lawyers, in-house counsel and anyone else who’s practising. Sorry, qualified lawyers only (though non-law friends and significant others are welcome if they can take it).
How?
The Legally Social rules, in case you’ve forgotten, are very simple:
- The first rule of Legally Social is: Everyone is equal at Legally Social. Please address each other by first names if possible.
- Second rule: Leave allegiances and competition at the door.
- Third rule: What happens at Legally Social stays at Legally Social - Chatham House Rule applies for all.
Please send us a line at to book your place, numbers are limited.

The Chatham House Rule is a system for holding debates and discussion panels on controversial issues, named after the headquarters of the UK Royal Institute of International Affairs, based in Chatham House, London, where the rule originated in June 1927.
At a meeting held under the Chatham House Rule, anyone who comes to the meeting is free to use information from the discussion, but is not allowed to reveal who made any comment. It is designed to increase openness of discussion.
Since its refinement in 2002, the rule states:
When a meeting, or part thereof, is held under the Chatham House Rule, participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s), nor that of any other participant, may be revealed.
Sometimes the reference is made to Chatham House rules, plural.
