The legal system

The day started with a lecture on “The Indian Legal System” by Mr. Shivakumar. It was a very interesting over view of the legal system and if there is one thing that I will remember is that you never want to have a reason to utilize the system.

After the lecture we went to the court house (lower court) and observed the proceeding. The buildings were run down, the transcriptional used a manual type writer and the tables and chairs were dilapidated and mostly broken, it was a very, very run down area and not typical to the US system. My expectation for their legal system was much higher because of their years under British rule and how diplomatic the British system is, from the law that they practice to the building that they practice in.

Later that afternoon a group of us went to the down to the local vegetable and craft markets and had a blast. I had the opportunity to play Cricket with some of the locals in the street and observe Harvey Ma get a traditional arm rub with sensual oils from one of the local men. Thanks Harvey for taking one for the team.

That night was one of the best meals in history. We actually found a Subway. Although it was a chicken meatball sandwich, it was very tasty. With their free wifi service and North American music, I will be back often.
