Law must evolve from fortress to forum: CJI
The Free Press Journal
|February 22, 2026
Chief Justice of India Surya Kant on Saturday said that "law cannot remain a fortress erected to protect society from arbitrariness", and called on the young lawyers to make it a "forum" where differences are debated, rights articulated and power is reasoned with.

Kant, during his address, From Fortress to Forum: Law in an Unfinished Republic, at 18th Convocation of National Law University here, urged professionals to see law not as a closed citadel but as a living, evolving public space.
The CJI invoked the Mehrangarh Fort as a powerful metaphor for the historical journey of law.
