President, GSTJ
Mr. Molazzem Hossain, Advocate
 

Our President, Mr. Molazzem Hossain, a practicing lawyer of the Calcutta High Court, has dedicated more than two decades to the legal profession and incorporated in his repertoire a diverse range of practice areas including Property, Municipal, Family, Company, Panchayat, Wakf, Muslim and in the recent past has developed a keen interest in Information Technology related jurisprudence. Mr. Hossain has to his credit the distinction of co-authoring the book “The West Bengal Panchayat Act 1973 & Allied Rules”, a valuable tome for legal professionals working in the field of Panchayat laws.

Mr. Hossain was deeply concerned about the lack of awareness regarding cyber laws in the eastern region of India, which prompted him to jointly initiate a project that is now known as the Global School of Tech Juris.

“Cyber Laws is an area that is strangely underrated, despite the fact that professionals excelling in this area worldwide are doing quite well for themselves. Electronic Commerce, Cyber IPR and E-Crimes, the three integral parts of cyber jurisprudence, will give Indian professionals a new dimension to work with”, feels Mr. Hossain, who is confident that courts in Calcutta will be witnessing an increasing number of cases in the near future not only related to cyber crimes but also e-contracts and domain name disputes.

 

Vice President, GSTJ
Mr. Misum Hossain

The GSTJ Certified Cyber Laws Program has been devised by the Vice President Mr. Misum Hossain, who completed his legal education from London and is currently focussed on encouraging the growth of Cyber Law & Cyber Forensics education in the country.

A Cyber Laws Analyst, Mr. Hossain has had the opportunity of conducting lectures in several prestigious Law Colleges of India including ILS Law College (Pune), Government Law College (Mumbai), Symbiosis Institute of Computer Studies and Research (Pune), a constituent institute of Symbiosis International Education Centre

(SIEC) and Bharati Vidyapeeth New Law College (Pune), a constituent unit of Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed University. Mr. Hossain was part of the Senior Faculty at the Asian School of Cyber Laws, a Pune based educational institute in the field of information technology laws. He has also conducted several seminars on Information Security and Cyber Insurance in Pune’s National Insurance Academy (NIA) on behalf of Asian School of Cyber Laws as part of training programmes for professionals in the Insurance industry.

In March 2006 Mr. Hossain was invited as the Guest Speaker on the field of Cyber Laws in a Seminar on Information Security, Ethical Hacking and Cyber Laws organized by Birla Vishwakarma Mahavidyalaya Engineering College, Gujarat.

After his arrival from UK in 2003 and extensive interaction with students and professionals he noticed a definite lack of awareness about Information Technology Laws and the serious consequences in case of non-compliances. This problem required to be addressed at the core level among students and professionals by imparting knowledge about technology related laws. This resulted in Mr. Hossain taking part in the initiative of launching Kolkata’s first cyber laws institute, Global School of Tech Juris, in an attempt to promote awareness and cater to the growing needs of knowledge about legal compliance for technology and the increasing concerns about cyber crimes.

His first book in the field of Cyber Laws titled “Hossain’s Guide On Cyber Laws and Cyber Crimes – A Comprehensive Manual On Technology Jurisprudence” is dedicated to a similar cause of demystifying the convoluted jargon of Computer Law and making it intelligible to a wider audience.

Mr. Hossain has also written several White Papers and Articles on Cyber Laws, Cyber Crimes and Cyber Intellectual Property Rights.
