I am a published author as well as an Advocate (Barrister) of the High Court, Counsellor-at-Law (admitted in 1999), and formerly an editor and peer-reviewer for a US-based company operating in 119 countries. My consultancy commenced in 2007. I have completed a doctorate and masters in law, masters in creative writing, a post-graduate diploma, and a LLB dissertation.
In criminal law, the State must prove the accused’s guilt ‘beyond any reasonable doubt’. In a civil case, the adjudicator decides ‘on the balance of probabilities’: Judgment goes in favour of the Counsellor who in writing presented the most compelling, convincing, plausible, believable, credible, realistic, reasoned, and persuasive argument. The decision is taken ‘on the papers’, with little, if any, oral presentation or calling of witnesses. A Senior Counsellor writes for a living but in certain circumstances their persuasive ability could be the difference between freedom and death. Anirood Singh: On-time, precise, compelling, and persuasive writing.
A book based on Anirood’s LLD is currently under consideration for publication. From 1997 to date, he presented/published 42 papers at international conferences, as journal articles, and chapters in books. He is currently negotiating for the publication of two novels of 123 000 and 180 000 words and an anthology of 14 short stories of which eight had been published.
