What Goes Under Opinion & Editorial vs Articles – Legal Blog Guide


What comes Under "Opinion & Editorial"

This section reflects personal viewpoints, critical commentary, and value-based interpretations. It is subjective and often argument-driven, even if based on facts and law.

  • Commentary on recent judgments
    e.g. “Why the Supreme Court’s ruling on XYZ undermines privacy rights”
  • Critique of legal policies or bills
    e.g. “Why the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita still fails victims of gender violence”
  • Reflections on legal ethics or reform
    e.g. “India’s legal aid system is broken — here’s how to fix it”
  • Editorials on current legal events
    e.g. “Suspension of Internet: A Constitutional Crisis in the Making?”
  • Socio-legal perspectives
    e.g. “Why caste bias still affects the delivery of justice”
  • Guest or expert essays
    Usually contributed by legal scholars, judges, or activists
  • Contrarian or bold takes
    e.g. “Do we even need sedition laws in modern India?”

❌ Not Typically in Opinion & Editorial:

  • Bare case summaries or updates
  • Neutral legal explanations
  • Legislative history or fact-only reporting
  • FAQs or procedural guides

✨ Tip:

Articles = Informational, Structured, Objective
Opinion & Editorial = Persuasive, Reflective, Personally-authored
