‘Nothing is parallel to independence and adventures of litigation’

New Delhi, March 2 Organised after a hiatus of five years, the alumni meet in the Campus Law Centre (CLC) of Delhi University’s Faculty of Law saw old pupils like Justice Mukul Mudgal and advocate K C Mittal share old memories with the students apart from offering advice to the future legal eagles.

Justice Mudgal, currently serving as a judge in the Delhi High Court, appreciated the students’ initiative to organise the event, which, he said, would help strengthen the relationship between the alumni and the

college.

Stressing on the requirement of well-read legal eagles in the field of litigation, Justice Mudgal said, “It is not only the pay package being offered in the LPO--Legal Process Outsourcing--industry that should matter for a law student, but he should realise that nothing is parallel to the independence and adventures of litigation.”

“Money is certainly important, but a law student becomes a thorough professional only by practising law in the courts and not by locking up his acumen inside the four walls of a building where he works as a desk person,” Justice Mudgal said.

Advocate K C Mittal, president of the Delhi High Court Bar Association, seconding the judge's notion, said “a law student has to play a very important role in serving the society with his knowledge and dexterity”.

“It is not just competing with other law colleges. CLC students need to play a more vital part, which involves the element of social engineering,” Mittal said.

When asked about CLC’s contribution to the field of litigation, Professor-in-Charge S C Raina said that at least 30 per cent of his students have consistently been joining courts.

Pleased over the students’ endeavour in organising the event attended by many lawyers and other professionals, Professor Raina told Newsline that the meet brought together “a wealth of talented and capable professionals who shared their expertise and experience, and brainstormed on the prospective avenues for further accentuating a mutually beneficial liaison”.

“It was a humble beginning but it's going to be bigger from the coming years as we plan to consolidate the event with the other two law centers of the faculty as well,” Raina said.
