from The Daily Lawyer Podcast · host The Daily Lawyer

Part 2 of our historic Legacy Series conversation with Professor H.D. Pithawalla - one of India’s longest-serving, most respected, and most beloved law professors. For 53 years, Prof. Pithawalla 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 memorize 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
