This book is a citizen introduction to the law, legal system and a wide range of contemporary social and political issues in India. Description: To understand how the legal system works, students must examine the law in terms of structures, processes, language, and ways of thinking and reasoning – in short, they must acquire knowledge in this area. Legal literacy fulfills this goal by providing a fundamental understanding of key concepts such as legal personality, case law, and precedents, and by introducing students to legal research and writing skills. Designed as a text for the legal education course, this book will also be extremely useful for students in the early stages of political science, law, sociology of law, gender studies, as well as curious and concerned general readers.
