India's Legal System - Can It be Saved - Fali Nariman (2016)

Fali Nariman has been a leading expert on legal matters and has been a celebrated senior advocate of the Supreme Court of India. He needs no introduction to any person remotely related to law. This book is a short description on the following aspects:

1. Judicial System Pre-Indepence
2. Adoption of Judicial System post indepence.
3. Civil Courts and the flaws in the Indian Legal System
4. Criminal Courts and the flaws in the adversial justice system in India

While the judiciary role is upheld in the whole book, there are definite lacuna that have been identified. The role of judiciary and its importance to be kept independent is discussed with certain firmness.

Short and concise but definite treatment of Indian Legal System. More from a commoner's view point than a legal expert. To a practicing lawyer the book will seem to lack details.
