Lecture at Symbiosis Law School in Hyderabad

 On 5th July, 2018, delivered two lectures at Symbiosis Law School in Hyderabad, in their Gender Sensitisation and Research Methodology Workshop, as an induction programme for the newly admitted students  in this school. This University is located in Mamadipalle Mandal about an hours drive from the airport. This was my first visit to this campus and really enjoyed interacting with the bright minds who have just now passed intermediate class and now plan a career in law. There were about 150 to 200(though not sure about the exact number) of students admitted to this batch for a five year programme. The team of faculty was a very young team including a student of ours Dr-Pooja Rhine. The Director, Dr. Sukhwinder Singh Dari also looked very young and I was left  wondering, if they all look so young, as  I am getting old. I was informed that they had received 14,000,applications for these 150to 200seats and the students are selected through a three tier examination process comprising of online test, an interview and a essay writing. So obviously the whole lot coming from all parts of the country is a bright lot and I enjoyed interacting with them. The school sends them for internship to different parts of India and abroad. The students published a quarterly Newspaper Awaaj and we released the first Volume and first issue of this. I was taken around the forty five acre campus in a golf cart Buggy and found that they had a state of the art infrastructure. I also saw the hostels and each room with an attached toilet. This is a fully residential University. It has a beautiful auditorium with a capacity to hold 1200.There was a Mook court room and all the class rooms are smart class room. Really enjoyed being here. Unlike our days when we were students many young students are now choosing law as a career. However, one question that kept bothering me and found no answer to was, this is just one law College and we have similar ones in Noida, Poona, NALSAR, Bangalore, Jindal school of law and all the kids must really be a bright lot. Will this, a new lot of young, smart and very savvy lawyers, mean changing the working environments in our Court, right from High Court to District Courts or again many of these students will practice Corporate or International Law and go abroad and our Courts will remain where they are.
