NAGPUR: "The primary objective of law colleges should be to produce professional lawyers who are well trained in every aspect of the nation's laws," said Prasanna Varale, judge of the Nagpur bench of Bombay high court on Thursday, at the inauguration of the college fest at NU's Dr Ambedkar Law College auditorium.
He was addressing the students on the opening day of the Tenth Justa Causa National Law Festival.
Vice chancellor Vilas Sapkal and law faculty dean Anjali Hastak shared the dais with the chief guest. Unfortunately, the senior administrative judge at Nagpur Bench P B Majmudar was unable to make it to the event.
The chief guest gave an informative speech mentioning many of his childhood memories. He said, "Gone are the days when lawyers or the law faculty faced a hostile approach by the society. It is a changed scenario now as in the 21st century; the era of globalization, law is looked upon as a prime faculty."
He also said, "It gives me immense pleasure to be part of this event which has young budding lawyers participating from all over the country. The youth have the ability to change the world, they are young and enthusiastic in their approach. They are the power of the nation. A lawyer needs to be a compact person. A good lawyer is a package and should have a multifaceted personality."
Justice Varale concluded his speech by informing people about the requisite of change and transformation "The rules of law do not remain same forever. Change is the life of law. It keeps improvising with the development of society. Dynamism of law is the change of society," he said.
