Description
At the outset let me congratulate Shruthi Prabhakar for her hardwork and passion towards publishing her first book.
Sociology is the study of society. It helps us understand the way a society functions; the way it grows and the way it reacts to various circumstances. Law originates from the society and is applied to the society, and its ramifications are felt within every society.
Society and Law are interlinked in a way that it should be the priority of every budding lawyer to delve deep and understand the nuances and the complexities that make this duo. Understanding the fundamental blocks of what makes a society will enable the lawyer to appropriately decipher the application of law.
