CJI Surya Kant warns young lawyers against ethical compromises, shortcuts

Bengaluru, Oct 17 (UNI) Chief Justice of India (CJI) Justice Surya Kant on Saturday warned young lawyers against compromising professional ethics for convenience or personal advantage, urging them to remain guided by their values and uphold the Constitution even when expediency and shortcuts appear tempting.
"There will come times when compromise tempts, when expediency entices, and when others take breezy shortcuts. And it is in those moments that you must let the wisdom imparted here be your compass and stay true to the values you have imbibed in this eminent institution," he said, delivering the presidential address at the 34th annual convocation of the National Law School of India University (NLSIU) here.
Emphasising that the legal profession demanded more than intellectual ability and mastery of statutes, Justice Surya Kant said lawyers needed the courage to defend what was just, the humility to listen to unheard voices and the fairness to engage with those holding opposing views.
