1)  Law is a calling  2)  It is not a career. 3) Those who have passion for justice and passion for protecting weak against strong, are drawn towards Law automatically by their nature, from early childhood.

I have heard about a family of Lawyers who are lawyers since five generations. Probably from #Nagpur in #Maharashtra.

One of them, Justice V. S. Sorpurkar, while retiring as Supreme Court Judge, had said in his farewell speech, “In our family, we worship Judiciary as our Mother. To us, to serve a litigant, whether as a judge or as lawyer, is an ‘act of worship’. To serve a poor client who is unable to pay, gave us special happiness of doing work for God “

Every year, Supreme Court celebrates 26th Nov as “Law Day”. A function is held after court hours by lawyers and judges. Law Minister and Chief Justice are invited. Meritorious advocates are awarded. Lawyers who have published books in previous years are rewarded. Vision statements are made. High tea follows.

What if similar functions are held on same day in every high court and in every district court?

Our religion of Law can become stronger if it happens.

Presently this is only a wish expressed before a falling star in the morning. It is said that such wishes often become fulfilled.
