CJI cautions students against chasing only money, fame
HYDERABAD: Supreme Court Chief Justice P Sathasivam on Saturday cautioned Nalsar graduates against being carried away by money, fame and brand names of companies. "One day you might get a feeling that you are leading an unfulfilled life all along."

Participating as the chief guest at the 11th annual convocation of Nalsar University here, the CJI exhorted the students to follow their hearts. "No attractive salary packages or working with brand names can give the satisfaction which you may derive from doing what your heart desires. When you reach my age, money and brand names will not satisfy you. I know it is too early to talk about the tail end of your career, but time just flies and it is always good to be prepared. Never see law only as a means of livelihood. It should be your mission in life. This law degree is a licence to you to help others to resolve their disputes. Apart from personal empowerment, the ability to contribute to social welfare should be the true social value of legal education," the CJI said.
