Learning (For Junior Lawyers) from Shri Ram Jethmalani, Senior Advocate
There are many things which can be learned from him. There are also many things one may not like to learn from him.
To my mind, two things can appeal to young lawyers:
1) It is heard that in his early days of advocacy, he had taken pain to memorise entire Criminal Procedure Code. He could recite all sections backward also.
What more can bring mastery in criminal law? Procedural Law is the key.
2) Secondly, he is reported to have said that he has tonnes of money, but he makes this money from his 10% of clients only.
This is a lesson. In 90% work a lawyer should not look at fees. This 90% work will bring him 10% rich clients from whom a lawyer can charge his dream fees
