Theme Recent Changes and Emerging Trends in Law If you think of this world as one big global village, of which we all are the inhabitants, you would realize that regardless of our nationality, our ethnicity and our mother tongue, our curiosity to connect with others and to share our thoughts remains unchanged. We have been programmed to share knowledge and information with others, all we need is a solid medium. With this in mind, the upcoming Legal Era is aimed at bringing together on a single platform some of the best legal luminaries to discuss a wide range of issues relating to emergence of law. The legal framework has evolved over last decade and the role of the Judiciary today is more critical to the survival of our democratic institutions than ever before. Through our publication and website, Legal Era has initiated dialogue on a range of topics be it legal, corporate and socio-political. This event is a step forward in that direction, and we would want the voice of solidarity that emerges out of the Legal Era, to be a conclusive one.
