8Role of Lawyers towards a Divine Society
Krishna Reddy: What is the role of lawyers in contributing to a Divine Society, a beautiful world? And what are the legal ethics they must follow?
Ankur Pastor: “A true lawyer is the one who places truth and service in the first place and the emoluments of the profession in the next place only” – M. K. Gnadhi. Lawyers MUST play a very important role in creating a divine society; As “In a democratic society, lawyer has a highest task to accomplish; a task connected with discovering the truth and establishing the rule of law; and a lawyer is a partner of justice”, as Panagiotis Kanellopoulos rightly said. He further said, “The human justice is not divine, and thus it has a right to make mistakes! But none of us have the right to abandon the fight for truth and justice.”, which is very much applicable to lawyers.
