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.
Justice Rajendra Babu, Former Judge of High Court of Kerala; A
Sampath, Member of Parliament and President of Alumni Association ; Prof. S

It is not the liberalization itself, but the complexities and social impacts inherent in the liberal economic policies popularized law. Mr. Madhava Menon is focusing on the corporate clerkship and not the social commitment of law graduates. A lawyer should be socially committed and should be well aware about the vacuum and alternatives to achieve the social welfare, but Mr.Menon prefer remuneration, 'social status' and settled life. His vision is nothing but the expansion of corporatization in legal education. His version is also contradictory to Dr. Mohan Gopal's view.
