| Summary: | The author tells of her taking up law studies because this could be conveniently combined with caring for her son and husband, of the difficulty she faced as a woman barrister in Calcutta in trying to find a senior to devil with, of her lighter moments as the sole woman judge on the otherwise all-male bench of the Delhi High Court. Also dwelt upon are her views regarding corruption, discrimination and delay in the legal system; some judgments dealing with education and with inter-personal and constitutional law; and her experiences as a member of the 15th Law Commission. |
