The point I’ve been making—and one that ties directly into the broader discussion—is that the judiciary demands more than just specialized knowledge or corporate success. It requires a form of wisdom and experience that is often cultivated through years of direct courtroom engagement, where decisions are made under pressure, with immediate and far-reaching consequences. This is what I referred to earlier as being “battle-tested.”
Law firm partners are undoubtedly experts in their fields, but their experience is typically oriented towards client advocacy and transactional work, rather than the adversarial and public nature of courtroom litigation. It’s not about lacking legal knowledge; it’s about whether that knowledge has been honed in the kind of high-stakes, public-facing environment that judges must navigate daily.
As for the suggestion of training akin to what IAS officers undergo, it’s an intriguing idea. Such programs could indeed help bridge the gap for those transitioning from corporate law to the bench. But even then, we must be cautious not to overlook the unique and irreplaceable value of the broad legal experience that comes from years of courtroom practice. It’s this experience that ensures judges aren’t just technically competent, but also possess the deep, intuitive understanding of the law’s application in diverse and often unpredictable circumstances.
So, while I respect the expertise of law firm partners, my argument is that the judiciary demands a broader, more varied form of experience—one that’s best cultivated in the courtroom. It’s not an “empty hypothesis” but a recognition of the different demands these roles entail. And as I mentioned before, the stakes are too high to assume that success in one realm automatically translates to readiness in another.
Wonder if he still has that rule in his new firm. If yes, respect. If no, that's deplorable.
Plus alumni are successful, but alumni relation with the college is pretty poor, courtesy SG.
Is anyone aware of any vacancies in Tier-1 Disputes' teams for 2021 - 2023 graduates? Both Delhi and Mumbai work.
Thanks in advance.
