Man Behind Law Times Journal
Vedanta Yadav
I started Law Times Journal in 2014 — while I was still a law student.
Not because I had a business plan. Because I believed that legal knowledge should not be a privilege. That every law student — regardless of which college they attend or what books they can afford — deserves access to quality legal content. That a person living in a small town, or a worker who cannot afford a lawyer, or an Indian living abroad who does not understand the legal system around them — all of them deserve to know their rights. Clearly. In plain language. Free or affordable, always.
That belief has not changed. It has only grown.
Advocate. Academic. Educator.
I completed my BA LLB with a specialization in Energy Laws and an MBA — both from the University of Petroleum and Energy Studies (UPES), Dehradun — as understanding the business world my clients operate in is as important as understanding the law that governs it.
Currently, I am a practicing advocate enrolled with the Bar Council of Uttar Pradesh, and previously was a member of the Bar Council of Delhi. My practice spans across various Indian courts, and from 2017 to 2022, my legal contributions were recognized globally when I served as a Distinguished Member of the International Council of Jurists, London.
Over the years, my practice has taken me well beyond domestic matters. I advise clients from Germany, the United Kingdom, Dubai, Thailand, and the Philippines on entering the Indian market — and I guide NRIs across the world on navigating legal matters back home, all from my practice in India.
Writing. Teaching. Publishing.
Law does not live only in courtrooms. It lives in classrooms, in conversations, and in the questions ordinary people are afraid to ask.
I have authored chapters in three published books focusing on critical legal and social issues:
- "The Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015: Rethinking the Best Interests of Child" (published in Rethinking of Juvenile Justice System in India)
- "Global Security Threat: Cyber Terrorism" (published in Good Governance and Human Rights in Developing Nations)
- "Social Development" (published by Bloomsbury in Innovation, Globalisation and Social Relevance)
I am also the Editor-in-Chief of Wisdom Crux (ISSN 2456-6233), a peer-reviewed legal journal. I deliver guest lectures at Amity University and have been awarded multiple times for my contributions to legal education and access to justice.
On LinkedIn and across social media, over 17,000 people follow my work — lawyers, law students, citizens, and NRIs who want to understand the law that governs their lives.
Why Law Times Journal
Most legal content in India is either too technical for ordinary people or too shallow to be useful. There was almost nothing in Hindi. Nothing for the Indian living in London or Houston who needed to understand both their home country’s law and the country they now call home.
LTJ exists to fill that gap. Every article, every video, and every course we publish carries the same commitment I made as a student in 2014 — that the law belongs to everyone. Through our structured pathways, we actively shape future legal minds by offering impactful legal courses and career opportunities across the legal fraternity.
