    The Art of Writing A Legal Research Paper | Shrutanjaya Bhardwaj | Ep. 1 | Letter of Law |

    Letter of Law has started a new series called 'The Art of Writing A Legal Research Paper'. Through this series, I aim to interact with some of my favourite academic writers and learn their philosophy behind writing research papers.  In the first episode of this new series, I am delighted to host the ever-brilliant Shrutanjaya Bhardwaj! Over the years, I have really enjoyed reading Shrutanjaya's articles and it was truly a wonderful experience to interview him on his writing and researching process.  We spoke about a variety of matters such as choosing a topic, structuring a paper, writing styles, managing litigation with academia, getting a paper published, and so much more. Shrutanjaya has some terrific insights and I am sure the viewers will derive great value from it. In a world where fifteen second reels are the norm, we recorded an episode of over an hour. This helped us deep-dive into a lot of areas and produce a video that might comprehensively help anyone wishing to learn more about legal academic writing. All thanks to Shrutanjaya for being a patient listener and an absolutely wonderful guest. Hope you enjoy listening to the episode!
