Note : The only reason I post this is because plagiarism has become a habit most law schoolites have become unnervingly comfortable with; this is the only nexus the topic has to law in general.

Note :- If you’re waiting for the sequel to Mooting for the Professionals :- Part I , I’m terribly sorry but you’ll have to wait just a bit longer.

Catfight! (Where's the Popcorn?)

by divya on in Blawg-osphere
I’m a student - used in the most elastic sense - at an NLU. Like most law schoolites I know, I’ve been reading Legally India with interest these last few months. Like all good websites, LI appeals to every mood of a law student. Taken too long a lunch break while interning at your legal sweatshop? F...
