Why the Law Matters: Reflections of a Young Lawyer
By Balendu Anand
Introduction
Law is far more than a career path — it’s the backbone of any orderly society. As a recent law graduate, I’ve begun to see how deeply the law influences our daily routines, often in ways we barely realize. Through this blog, I want to share my perspective and encourage a broader conversation about why legal awareness is so crucial in today’s world.
How Law Touches Daily Life
Whether you’re signing a lease, buying a product, or handling a traffic ticket, the law is present at every step. Despite this, many people find legal matters confusing or think courts exist only for big conflicts. In reality, the law’s true purpose goes beyond courtrooms — it exists to safeguard our rights, offer protection, and ensure fairness for everyone.
My Path So Far
After earning my LL.B., I chose to prepare for the Judicial Services Examination. This phase of rigorous study has not only strengthened my grasp of statutes and landmark rulings but has also made me realise how empowering it is for ordinary people to understand the basics of law.
Legal literacy is the first step toward justice. When people know their rights and duties, they’re better equipped to defend themselves and less likely to be misled.
What This Blog Offers
My aim here is simple —
to simplify the law. I want to turn complicated legal concepts into clear, practical information you can actually use. If you’re a law student, young professional, or simply someone curious about your rights, you’ll find something valuable here.
Expect easy-to-understand posts on recent judgments, important legal updates, and actionable advice on everyday legal issues — from landlord-tenant matters to consumer protection, workplace rights to online privacy.
This is only the beginning. I hope you’ll read, share, and reach out with your thoughts or questions. Together, we can build a small corner of the internet where legal knowledge is not locked away in books or court files, but open to all who need it.
