He was speaking at Prof. N Purushothaman Commemorative Talk on
‘Legal Education: Problems and Prospects’ at Government Law College
Thiruvananthapuram, University of Kerala on 12th September 2012.
Delivering his commemorative speech, he said: ‘When private investments come, people learnt in law and technocrats will become a necessity. Both Indian and foreign investors would need lawyers and technocrats. Country is today facing a shortage of competitive lawyers.
He also said to students that today law practice is not the only opinion before them. Legal Journalists, legal researchers, legal consultants, LPOs and many others jobs are in front of them in this globalised economy.
He asked students in Kerala to think beyond government jobs and go for private jobs.
