Law is in your hands…


It’s been a few years of practice and now falling back on most of the cases that I have seen / fought / read / won / lost … well whatever… its time that we as lawyers should start thinking about a social responsibility and take a step towards this… I am sure someone somewhere may be doing it in bits and pieces but I vow to do this big time urge to my co friends who are reading this blog to reach out to me if want to join in or support and help in this endeavor...


I was reading an article on Times of India about the Criminal behavior linked to Genes; you may also go thru this article following the link here http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2005-06-11/edit-page/27850346_1_behaviour-genes-traits  which says that criminal behavior is inherited and my argument is to curb this behavior by educating and counseling and creating awareness in the society both urban and rural right from the childhood.


My plan is as follows…


1. Make a list of schools and colleges in your vicinity


2. Reach out to the target audiences i.e.… the high school / college students


3. Meet the authorities and plan workshops showing the possible evils in the society and ways to overcome them using the help of Law and not taking the law in your own hands.


What I believe is during this adolescence age is when there are high possibilities that vengeance is born the trigger may be the new friend circle, sense of independence from the governance of parents, keenly participating in family matters and know more and more about family disputes if any, this is the time when an adolescent gets involved more openly in various activities in the society, media also leaves a great impression on children, this is the time when one gets more inclined towards sexual fantasies, well there can be a many more triggers that sow their seed during this age and over a period of time they grow like a big banyan tree with a roots hanging upside down from the mind that is already been corrupted.


If I as a lawyer can return back something to the society, I sincerely would like to participate and lead such workshops and quick talks to help the next generation understand their rights, know the law and use it their advantage instead of an abuse…


If any school / college / NGO would like to reach out to me please email me at lawyersonia@gmail.com
