BECOMING a senior advocate is the ultimate destination for most of us in litigation, but why delay greatness? I believe that my first-year brilliance warrants an instant elevation to the ranks of the revered senior counsels of the country and I am here to make my submissions for the same.
Voracious reader— digitised to boot
In law school, I read every single word in every single textbook, footnotes and all. I even understand most of them. While years of learning and experience are invaluable, I have maximised efficiency by glancing through almost all Bare Acts. After all, isn’t brevity the soul of wit? And isn’t wit a sought-after quality in a senior advocate?
The PDFs, obviously, are the modern lawyer's best friend! Who needs the clutter of printed Bare Acts when technology offers us the sleek allure of Ctrl+F? Save paper, save the environment, as they say. Sure, rare earth materials might be crying out for better use, but what is a little energy drain when the law itself can be as portable as my latte? It is all about keeping justice— and my laptop— fully charged.
Who knows, perhaps the never-ending input of power keeps the text of the law young and vibrant. In any case, since digitisation of the judiciary is the flavour of the season, I am not one to argue against it.
