The law graduates must be based on strong legal foundations, even if the profession evolves in response to new global and technological developments, according to Justice Bhushan Ramkrishna Gavai, Chief Justice of India (CJI).
While delivering the 22ND Convocation address at Nalsar University of Law On Sunday, he said that mentorship would play a crucial role in shaping ethical and capable lawyers.
About the growing trend to pursue foreign degrees, he warned that he only did this from group pressure, while noting that an international qualification is not automatically a marker of excellence. The trend would also reflect a lack of trust in Indian postdoctoral legal training and called for more investments in LLM-postdoctoral programs in the country.
Srikrishna Deva Rao, Vice-Chancellor Nalsar University of Law, who presented the annual report and academic performance of the University of the past year, said that the university is committed to academic excellence, constitutional values and inclusive growth.
A cooperation project with the Ministry of Social Justice on the modernization of special courts under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act was also formally launched on the occasion and the university also announced the establishment of the Square Circle Clinic, India’s Pioneering Criminal Justice Clinic,
During the convocation, 462 different degrees, including Ph.Ds, were presented to the students and scientists, according to a release.
