About the Organisation:
Team
Attorneylex is a Student-run organisation, it is an online platform for law
students where they can contribute their legal knowledge and get recognized for
their contribution. We aim to guide law students in their legal research,
content writing, case analysis, read or understand the judgments passed by the
courts, etc. because we believe that these things are an essential part of the
legal profession.
In this epoch of information explosion, it has become really difficult to rely on the content available online because of various reasons sometimes it is the authenticity of the content itself, the language of content, wrong citations etc. But we are here to ensure quality content for you, written by experienced writers, checked by professionals. This is a website with a mission to provide legal reporting more accurate, transparent and accessible to everyone.
Along with
the other activities the endeavour is to deliver legal help to the sectors of
society that are unable to access existing legal services due to illiteracy and
poor economic conditions.
About the Competition:
The
objective of this competition is to promote the importance of the latest
landmark judgment passed by the Supreme Court of India. This competition will
enable the participants to know that how these latest judgments have changed
the overall course of justice. The Supreme Court landmark judgments provided as
the theme of the Competition would not only enrich the academic experience but
also provide knowledge about the practical aspect of the professional legal
world. This Case Comment Writing Competition seeks to promote original
thoughts, and analysis amongst students, researchers, academicians and legal
practitioners.
