“A career always has its ups and downs. At first, you might not earn much at the end of your first month in the legal field’, the CJI stated.
Lawyers must learn to pay proper salaries and emoluments to the youngsters who enter their chambers to learn, Chief Justice of India (CJI) D Y Chandrachud has said in an interview with All India Radio that the legal field is challenging and that young solicitors are well-served throughout their careers by the foundation they build in their early years.
“There are always ups and downs in a profession. At first, you might not earn much at the end of your first month in the legal field’, the CJI stated.
Therefore, it is critical to motivate newcomers to persevere, work hard, and be sincere in their endeavours, D Y Chandrachud stated.
“Equally, our structures must change as well. For example, solicitors need to learn how to give young solicitors who enter their chambers the appropriate compensation, salaries, and emoluments’, he stated.
“Young people visit their rooms to study. They have a lot to share as well, so we must mentor the younger solicitors in a two-way process of absorption and sharing’, the CJI continued.
During his college years in Delhi, D.Y. Chandrachud also recalled his time as a presenter on All India Radio.
According to the CJI, when he was in third or fourth grade, his mother, a classical musician, would frequently take him to the AIR studios in Mumbai. He later tried out for Akashvani after relocating to Delhi in 1975 and started hosting shows in both Hindi and English.
He also recalled how he was captivated by the distinctive voices of Devki Nandan Pandey, Pamela Singh, and Lotika Ratnam as a child while listening to AIR bulletins in Hindi, English, and Sanskrit with his parents.
