Don't get swayed-away by infighting: CJI to budding lawyers, judges
CJI Dipak Misra asked budding lawyers and judges not to get swayed away by infighting and distractions that come their way and suggested them to deal with such situations courageously. Addressing law students at sixth-convocation of National Law University in Delhi on Saturday, he said it was important for budding lawyers to familiarize themselves with the undercurrents of various social diversities that divide society.
Welfare of people is the supreme law: Misra
The CJI said, "Welfare of people is the supreme law," and hoped that the newcomers would move up the scale of their profession by taking deprived sections of society along. Misra called the budding lawyers as the crusaders for change in the drive towards equal rights, liberty, and justice. He noted that taking deprived sections of society along will give a sense of satisfaction.
Misra asks students to foster high ambitions to enter legal-hall-of-fame
Misra asked the students to foster high ambitions to enter the legal hall of fame. "You should cultivate the quality of clarity of thought and intellectual vigor. These are primary qualities that budding lawyers must strive to attain," he said. The CJI also said that while witnessing the conferment of awards during convocation, he was "slightly perplexed by how the young minds have worked".
Age does not matter, young can teach old, says CJI
"If you look at history, John Keats died at the age of 26 and who can forget his poems. Gautam Buddha attained enlightenment at 26. The great poet Lord Byron died at 36. Age doesn't matter," Misra said, adding the young can teach the old.
