LUCKNOW, Oct. 18 -- Supreme Court Justice Vikram Nath has said that academic degrees mark the beginning of a larger journey rather than a final destination. Addressing the graduating batch, at the 5th convocation of Dr Ram Manohar Lohiya National Law University (RMLNLU), he said, "True success is measured not by position or wealth, but by positive impact on others' lives," urging graduates to uphold constitutional values, respect diversity and practise compassion. The chief justice of Allahabad high court, Arun Bhansali, while addressing the gathering, reminded students of the university motto 'Dharm Sansthapanaarth' - for the establishment of dharma - that legal education aims at strengthening a just social order. "Lawyers are not mouthpieces of a client's cause but officers of court and guardians of rule of law. In a constitutional democracy, legal professionals sustain balance between power and accountability and between liberty and collective good," said Bhansali. Laying a four-point roadmap, he said that integrity must remain non-negotiable amid commercialisation; commitment to continuous learning as law evolves with technology, commerce and privacy; dedication to pro bono service to make justice accessible amid high costs and pendency; and embracing AI, digital evidence and e-courts without losing human empathy and judgment. He urged graduates to uphold institutional dignity with courtesy and restraint and cultivate constitutional morality as envisioned by Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar....
