The legal profession is going through rapid changes and opportunities are aplenty for young advocates in new and emerging fields, said Justice M.M. Sundresh, Judge, Supreme Court, here on Saturday.
Delivering the convocation address at the Tamil Nadu National Law University here, Justice Sundresh said new areas of litigation were emerging where a conventional approach may not work. There were big opportunities for young lawyers, especially women.
Emphasising the role of lawyers, he said that lawyers were social engineers as they dealt with and addressed the malaise in society. “The law is your tool; your knowledge of law and its applications can bring in changes in society,” he said.
