Review

I applaud Dr. Vijay Kumar Singh's initiative to author a book aimed at secondary school students to expose them to the discipline of law and as a by-product encourage them to get a degree in the subject at the university level. He has already authored a book on Legal Studies for Class XI (ISC students). Quickly reading through the same, I must articulate that it is a great read for every Indian citizen. I am sure that this book on Legal Studies for Class XII (ISC students) will also serve the same purpose.
