“Excellence doesn’t happen by accident. But one has to put in consistent efforts. Hard work is the only key to success. You should be persistent and never lose determination. Obstacles are common in everyone’s journey. If you believe in yourself, you can achieve anything,” he said.
He asked young lawyers to uphold the Constitutional values of equality and freedom of expression and fight for the rights of the common man.
Deputy Commissioner of Police P.V. Sneha felt that though knowledge and information are important, it is right attitude that guarantees success. There is immense competition in every field. Success is achieved only when one runs the race with the right knowledge and attitude and works hard, she said.
Advocate and member of the governing council R.S. Mutalik said that law is a noble profession. Getting justice for clients is important for advocates. The sky is the limit for aspiring lawyers. Young lawyers can learn not only from seniors but also from watching counsel argue in court and conducting cross examination, he said.
