    This paper studies the historical development of the regulatory process in India and the subsequent effect of regulatory controls on market structure, market performance, and product choice. The major proponents of the infant-industry arguments that subsequently led to tight internal and external (regulatory) baniers were the industrialists. It is seen that under the effect of regulatory controls there was no product innovation in the car industry which was under stricter controls than the scooter industry. There exist characteristics common to both industries. There was a substantial waiting period in both industries between the placement of the order, and the delivery of the good. After the relaxation of the market controls both industries witnessed entry and exit. There was an improvement in product mix and product qauality after the relaxation of the controls

    Peel-Off Lawyers: Legal Professionals in India\u27s Corporate Law Firm Sector

    This study is about hierarchy within the legal profession – how it presents itself, how it is retained, and how it is combated. The socio-legal literature on this subject is rich, with many roots tracing back to Professor Marc Galanter’s famous early 1970s article on the ‘Haves’ and ‘Have-Nots.’ Galanter’s piece and the work of those influenced by him rightly suggest that resources – institutional, financial, and demographic – contribute to whether lawyers are, and remain as, part of the ‘Haves.’ Yet, while resources of course greatly matter, as this study will argue other forces are significant as well. One set, in particular, relates to what the social-psychology literature has termed mobbing – a phenomenon that contributes to the reinforcing of hierarchy through certain aggressive and passive tactics that those with power use to consolidate their reigns and hinder the upward mobility of the employees beneath them. In a legal professions setting, the result can be an environment where ‘Have-Not’ lawyers within an office are commonly left to feel insecure, powerless, and stuck in the legal employment positions in which they find themselves.To evaluate how resources and mobbing interact, this study returns to the place from where Galanter’s original inspiration for the ‘Haves’ article came: India. The results of a multi-year ethnography are presented on the Indian corporate bar. Since India liberalized its economy in 1991, numerous Indian corporate law firms have thrived, even post-2008. But often steep professional pyramids exist within these firms – perpetuated by those with power exerting a combination of resource-advantages and mobbing-techniques – that can leave lower-level lawyers feeling excluded from this success. To combat this hierarchical status quo, unhappy lawyers are increasingly peeling-off to start their own new law firm enterprises. Peel-off lawyers are thus seeking to become the new ‘Haves.’ However, the goal for peel-off lawyers is not solely to earn higher incomes but also to create environments that are more democratic, transparent, and humane. As this study argues, such opportunities are now possible because of a more liberal, globalized economy, and given the commitment to greater egalitarian norms, this development is indeed welcome, especially as the next generation of corporate lawyers emerges within India

    Artificial intelligence (AI) implies a system that behaves like a human. The use of Artificial Intelligence started with the concept of robotics which is now part of almost every electronic device in the form of Google Assistant, Cortana, etc. Artificial Intelligence systems have various real-world applications such as customer services, speech recognition, automated stock trading, computer visions, etc. Artificial Intelligence is a field, which combines computer science and robust datasets, to enable problem-solving. It also encompasses sub-fields of machine learning and deep learning, which are frequently mentioned in conjunction with artificial intelligence. These disciplines are comprised of AI algorithms that seek to create expert systems that make predictions or classifications based on input data. With the global invasion of Artificial Intelligence, the concept so be brought closer to the legal system in India for deep learning information management to control the legal system in the country. Therefore, this paper strategically presents a study that evaluates the use of Artificial Intelligence in the legal system of the country. The paper also focuses on the advantages of Artificial Intelligence for the legal system
