About Lawizard
Lawizard was started for a simple reason. A great deal of Indian legal writing online is either too thin to be useful or too abstract to be applied. Very little of it is written by someone who appears in court.
Everything published here is written personally by the author, drawn from the bare provisions and the reported judgments themselves rather than from secondary summaries. Where a case is cited, the citation is given so that the reader can verify it. The site covers:
- Legal guides on procedure and substantive law, written for students and litigants
- Case analyses of significant judgments of the Supreme Court and High Courts
- Law jobs — verified vacancies for law graduates, sourced from official notifications
- Examination material for UGC-NET, judicial services and the AOR examination
Nothing on this site is legal advice, and no advocate-client relationship arises from reading it. Anyone with a live matter should consult counsel.
