A legal practitioner in India can specialize in any specific area of Indian law, such as labor law, tax law, constitutional law, corporate law and family laws, just to mention a few. Corporate law mainly regulates the formation and operations of business organizations, companies, corporate houses and other commercial practices.

The stipulations of corporate law provide that a company has a separate legal identity. A company has its own legal right and legal liabilities that are separate from its members. You may file a legal suit against a company. However, it is not compulsory that the litigation will extend to its owner and shareholders.

Courts make determinations in law and in equity. By ‘in law’ is meant following a specific law – constitutional law, state law, etc. By ‘in equity’ is meant determining what is ‘fair’ to do where now law specifically rules. An example is determining how to distribute the assets in a divorce among the husband and wife.

Common law refers to the myriad of decisions made by judges and appeals courts. Maxims of Common Law are ‘guiding truths’. Adhering to them helps judges make fairer decisions. They’re ignored in family court determinations since fairness is a wholly secondary issue. This article overviews what these maxims are.

To My Neo-Con Friends:

I’m sick of hearing it from you people!

So you’ve read that big scary document called the Constitution over and over again and you just couldn’t find language that says “Obama’s health care plan is constitutional” therefore all those right wing blogs citing to the unconstitutionality of the bill are clearly right (pardon the pun)?

I suppose you overlooked the Commerce Clause, and the legal significance that clause has over the course of years in establishing precedence by the Supreme Court? By way of example in US vs. Southeastern Underwriters Association (1944) the United States Supreme Court ruled that the Commerce Clause gives Congress the explicit right and power to regulate insurance. Can it get anymore clear than that? All Congress is doing here is regulating the insurance industry. They are not BECOMING the insurance industry.

“But they are FORCING ME to buy health care!” you scream. “How can this be allowed?” you ask without even a hint of irony while being a proud member of the same party that enthusiastically supports the Patriot Act and $1 trillion a year in military spending.
