In his farewell address to Supreme Court Bar Association, former Chief Justice Y K Sabharwal, lamented about this issue. He said best talents of law graduates are getting into corporate jobs as soon as they complete law graduation. They are not coming to legal profession to serve the people.
Law is essentially a noble profession. It is duty of lawyers and judges to protect society against injustice anywhere.
But early few years of young lawyers are hard. There are no laws to guarantee them minimum surviving income in their early years.
So some of the talented law graduates join companies. Some other who come in legal profession, look forward to serve corporate clients.
And very few come with dreams to fight against injustice anywhere in any form.
