| New Delhi, Aug 22: How come there is no quality Indian law journal like the Harvard Law Review? The reason lies in lawyers being too self-centric and contributing little towards the development of law, or so believes Chief Justice of India (CJI) S.H. Kapadia.
He first aired his displeasure with the ways of senior counsel while he was chief justice-designate. He took exception to senior lawyers skipping the proceedings of an important conference devoted to judicial reforms.
In yet another just-concluded conference on the country's legal system, the CJI said everybody loves to refer to the Harvard Law Review or the European Constitutional Law Review but one never gets to see any such thing in India.
He said that senior lawyers appear in the court on Monday and on Friday and then they are not to be seen. He wondered if they did not feel obliged to contribute to the growth of law in the country by promoting quality law journals.(IANS) |
