Law Is Like an Ocean. The Knowledge We Gain Is Just the Tip of the Iceberg

Q. Your specializations in Civil, Writ and Revenue petitions brought you fame. What is your advice to law aspirants?

A. To become good lawyers they should have their basics clear of all the fundamental laws, of all the general laws, specialization can be done later. You should have an idea of every aspect of life and that combines everything like accounting, auditing, IPR, scientific investigation. One needs to have an idea of all the things because law is not confined to just one thing. A good lawyer should know the Constitution, Criminal Laws, Civil Laws, Economic Laws, Corporate Laws; after that one can specialize in any one of the streams in which one is convenient or have an interest. As a junior lawyer it is not the lawyer who decides what kind of case will come to him, it happens only when you have established yourself and people know what your expertise is.

Q. You were the Chancellor’s Chief Standing Counsel for all universities in Uttar Pradesh and witnessed their functioning. How do you look at the state of State universities?

A. The constitutions of State universities are not very promising. The quality of education being imparted needs much improvement. If I talk about legal education, things have improved a lot when I compare it with my time. When I studied, we had to study on our own and there was no proper legal education structure then.

Q. Why is it that except for some of the top law schools and NLUs the quality of students at Law schools seems to be poor?

Education's Heroes

In India, education is shaped not only by policies and institutions but also by the people who refuse to accept inequality as the norm. They come from courtrooms, laboratories, medical colleges, village squares, and city streets, bound by a belief that learning must be a right for all, not a privilege for a few. Some take on entrenched systems through litigation and advocacy; others create small but lasting change through libraries, community classrooms, and grassroots campaigns.
