How to Become a Lawyer Who Lasts - Prof. Pithawalla’s Timeless Wisdom (Part 2)

Part 2 of our historic Legacy Series conversation with Professor H.D. Pithawala - one of India’s longest-serving, most respected, and most beloved law professors. For 53 years, Prof. Pithawala has shaped three generations of lawyers - Chief Justices, senior counsels, managing partners, policy advisors, and thousands of practitioners across India and beyond. In this episode, he speaks with disarming clarity and rare honesty about: • Why students must stop studying “for exams” • How to think like a lawyer, not memorise like a student • The first moral temptation every young lawyer must resist • The crisis of punctuality and professionalism • The problem with adjournments and why litigants suffer • What he learnt from giants like Nani Palkhivala, Ashok Desai & Ram Jethmalani • Why knowledge, conscience and hard work are the real engines of a sustainable career • Drafting Bhutan’s Contract Act - the responsibility he almost declined • What legacy really means This is more than an interview - it’s a bridge between generations. The Legacy Series is created in collaboration with Solomon & Co., Advocates & Solicitors, one of India’s oldest law firms with 115+ years of heritage - united with us in preserving the wisdom of India’s greatest legal minds. 🔗 Watch Part 1 here: https://youtu.be/O7ICBcAmyjg?si=NlTxwNthgVpXXgMm Learn more about Solomon & Co: Email: [email protected] Website: https://solomonco.in/ Connect with us: Contact: [email protected] Website: https://thedailylawyer.in/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedailylawyerig/?hl=en LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenna-v-krishnan/ #ProfPithawalla #TheDailyLawyerLegacySeries #IndianLegalSystem #LegalEducationIndia #LawStudentsIndia #GLCMumbai #LegalCareerGuidance #IndianLawProfession #LegalHistoryIndia #SolomonAndCo
