(5) Use of Internet in legal Education:
1. To know about law websites
(1) Introduction
Certain legislations are enacted taking into consideration the moral compulsion under the
international convention and treaties.
As per the provision of the article 253 of the constitution of the India the parliament has
power to enact any law in order to implement international convention and treaties. For
i.e amendments under the patent act, the protection of human rights act,1993.
As a law student or researcher in law it becomes very important to find out the origin of
any legislation. Generally, in the object and reasons of every law, the origin of its
enactment is mention, if origin of any law is international treaties or convention, it
becomes inevitable for any law researcher/students to look into it. The text books publish
by different publisher containing international treaties are very costly, not affordable for
law students. At the same time all this text books are having detail explanation as well as
criticism to the subject which is often irrelevant for the researchers or law students. To
find out the same through internet is the cheapest way.
Any search engine contain 100 of websites giving information about a particular treaties
or conventions some of them are just providing news about the treaty, some websites are
about the articles or criticism etc. in order to view the text of the treaties or conventions a
researcher should type in the Google or any other search engine along with the name of
the convention you should type either words “text” or PDF. Normally text or the PDF file
of any treaty or Convention contains entire text excluding the simple explanation or
criticism or articles related to it. i.e. if you want to search Geneva convention you have to
type at the Google “Geneva convention text or Geneva convention PDF” .
(1) Introduction:
There are 195 independent countries in the world, and that countries have a different
laws. Each and every countries has its own history and social dynamics. That then plays
into the social dynamics and cultural sociology of the country and that in turn plays into
the history and politics of the place. Combine those 2 aspects together an then there’s a
need for a legal frame work to match those 2 aspects. Ergo, Different law in different
countries.
There are some commonalities between the laws of different countries and these are
largely coming from commonalities of life and living down through the age. For instance
things like homicide Murder, rape, theft and the like universally treated as crime and
aggressions so kost countries laws tent to operate roughly along the same lines – though
specifics will vary.
(2) Importance of knowing legal situation in other countries.
As a law students a researcher, advocate and also as a judge it becomes very important to
know the legal situation in other countries, that is capital punishment for murder is
abolished in so many countries.
If you want to compare the penal law of our countries with that of other countries taking
into consideration aspects of capital punishment we must have the thorough knowledge
about the penal laws of the other countries. Knowing penal law of the other country will
be helpful; at every stage of legal profession.
• To the law students knowing situation prevailing in the penal law of other countries.
• To the researcher in making statistics comparison of the data of rates of crimes like
murder in various countries and there by coming to a conclusion as to whether capital
punishment for the offence of murder has deterrent or preventive effect at all or not.
• While arguing the case before any criminal court, a lawyer can compare the
provisions of punishment for the offence of murder in India as well as in other
countries.
• Knowledge and comparison of penal laws of different countries will be useful to any
judge for rendering judgment.
Another example is of the intellectual property law where USA is far ahead from the
Indian legislation with regard to the copyright protection to computer software. It is
therefore becomes inevitable for everyone in the legal field current legal situation of
intellectual property law in other countries.
It is very difficult to find out the any particular legislation of various countries from a
single or several text books. You have to read the concerned legislation of almost all
countries individually instead of that from the internet as well as various available search
engines you can within fraction of seconds get the legislation of desired countries. This is
the biggest advantage of internet in the legal profession. It saves your time, money and
energy.

and inline images, among computer users of disparate platforms who may not have access to
mutually-compatible application software. It grew out of a system called "Camelot" developed
by Adobe's co-founder John Warnock.Adobe was founded in December 1982 by John
Warnock and Charles Geschke, who established the company after leaving Xerox PARC in
order to develop and sell the PostScript page description language.

2) Trusted Security. Even legal professionals trust PDFs as their preferred file format.

anywhere they want, while still accessing a lot of the same functionality they would get on a
desktop.

search. PDF documents can even be organized with a table of contents that link all sections to the
appropriate pages in the file.

Indian Kanoon has been useful for people seeking information on Indian Law. Over time
Indian Kanoon's reputation on general search engines like google and yahoo has
improved and as a result, pages from Indian Kanoon have started surfacing in the top few
of search results.
Court judgments are public records. If a case is heard by a court of India, no one can
argue that the opinion should not be published and viewable by all, unless the court itself
expressly says it cannot be published or a law says it cannot be.
The decisions of the Supreme Court are the law of the land, and all citizens can read their
decisions. Not just the Supreme Court, courts today are publishing their judgments and
orders on the Internet. If you search for a current court case from judis.nic.in or a high
court website or the district court websites, you will find details of that case directly from
the courts.
The Section 52(1)(q)(iv) of the Copyright Act states that publication of court judgments
does not constitute an infringement of Copyright.
where the Supreme Court defined the scope of the Right to Privacy, it held that
publication of court records will not constitute any violation of the right to privacy. It
held:
The rule aforesaid is subject to the exception, that any publication concerning the
aforesaid aspects becomes unobjectionable if such publication is based upon public
records including court records. This is for the reason that once a matter becomes a
matter of public record, the right to privacy no longer subsists and it becomes a legitimate
subject for comment by press and media among others. We are, however, of the opinion
that in the interests of decency [Article 19(2) an exception must be carved out to this rule,
