For those interested, this is my India Today review of Justice Leila Seth’s new book Talking of Justice. I think one of the great roles of judges of any court is to educate citizens about the law. Too few judges I think really take this role seriously, let alone pursue it after they retire. The vigor and eloquence with which Seth does, as well as thoughtfully advocating for her own viewpoints, is commendable and heartening.
