Lawful Talks began during the unusual quiet of the COVID-19 pandemic, when the rhythm of courts slowed and time opened up for reflection. What started as a simple experiment soon grew into a platform for thoughtful conversations on law, society, and public life.

Today, the blog draws upon decades of legal practice while engaging with issues that matter beyond the courtroom, from constitutional questions and legal reform to the broader relationship between law and society.

The journey continues to be shaped by the support of my wife, Shalini Chavan, a practising family court lawyer and editor of the blog, and my daughter, Amrita Moon Chavan, whose writing and insight continue to inspire the work.

Through Lawful Talks, the aim remains the same: to create a space where legal ideas are explored with clarity, curiosity, and a sense of public responsibility.
