Jayaram Ramesh's LEGISLATING FOR JUSTICE is a rich addition to Legal Economics. Among the many branches of the tree of Economic Sciences for which Nobel Prize is given since 1969, " Legal Economics" has pride of place. Unique / universal contribution to it, is by Chief Justice P N Bhagwathi (CJ PNB). He introduced to world jurisprudence the concept / practice of Public Interest Litigation(PIL).In the midst of massive poverty of India a post card is enough to seek justice upto the highest judiciary of India. Among the luminaries of the Madras High Court /Chief Justices/Supreme Court Judges, who honoured CJ PNB in public meetings are : CJ P R Gokulakrishnan, SCJ Rathnavel Pandian SCJ S Natarajan SCJ S Mohan et al. I was with all of them. Now Jairam Ramesh book is a welcome addition to Legal Economics.
