Importance of first 5 years in law practice: Justice Akeel Qureshi, Part-1

The video featuring Justice Aqeel Qureshi discusses the legal profession, emphasizing that it relies heavily on three things: the Constitution of India, and conventions and traditions (0:00-0:12). The speaker highlights how the Constitution was framed to protect fundamental human rights and dignity (0:40-0:46) and the historical debates surrounding the amendment of fundamental rights (1:01-1:59). The video then delves into the importance of the first five to seven years of law practice, describing them as most interesting, challenging, and defining for a lawyer's personality, image, and practice (2:54-3:33). It draws a contrast between previous generations of lawyers who entered the profession "by chance" and the current generation, who are largely entering "by design" through five-year law courses, indicating a greater commitment (4:30-5:52). For new entrants, the speaker advises applying three basic principles for success, similar to learning a new language: • Start addressing the courts early and seize every opportunity, as mistakes are more easily forgiven in the initial years (6:27-8:22). • Don't get used to mistakes; continuously improve and don't settle for mediocrity (8:43-8:57). • Build a strong foundation through sound knowledge of the matter, facts, and applicable law (8:57-9:10). The speaker shares anecdotes about judges who pushed junior lawyers to work harder and be well-prepared, even for seemingly simple tasks like mentioning a matter (9:37-11:20). Despite the current fast-paced court environment where judges have less time, lawyers are encouraged to seize every opportunity to face the courts, prepare well, and not shy away from responsibility (11:22-13:08). Finally, the video outlines a lawyer's responsibilities to the court, the client, the opponent, and the profession itself, stressing the importance of presence before the court as a junior (13:09-13:56).
