Chennai: 4,700 law graduates who completed their law degrees registered themselves as advocates with the Tamil Nadu and Puducherry Bar Council today, all on the same day. This is the first time in the history of the Tamil Nadu and Puducherry Bar Council that 4,700 people have registered as advocates in a single day.
At the event held at the Chennai High Court auditorium, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry Bar Council Chairman Genji K. Kathiravan welcomed the gathering. Bar Council advocate C.K. Chandrasekar proposed the registration of the new advocates, and New Advocates Registration Committee Chairman G. Mohanakrishnan read the oath, after which the young advocates took the oath.
Speaking as the special guest at the event, Supreme Court Judge V. Mohana said in her felicitations, “38 years ago, on this very Nov. 11, I too enrolled as an advocate with the Tamil Nadu and Puducherry Bar Council. Those memories still come vividly before my eyes. For those of you who have enrolled as young advocates, there are countless opportunities awaiting you in the judiciary. The sky is the limit for you.
If lawyers properly follow professional ethics, success will come automatically. In the legal profession, dignity and integrity are the most important. One should never mislead clients or give them incorrect advice. At present, in an era when artificial intelligence technology is becoming popular, it must be used with great caution.

You should not lose heart just because you have not been winning cases. If you identify where you have gone wrong in your argument and correct it, the victory that slipped away will come to you on its own. The younger generation today is very talented. They should use that talent in constructive ways and progress in life,” he said.
Speaking, the Chief Justice of the Madras High Court, S.A. Dharmadhikari, said, “Young lawyers who have taken on the responsibility of serving the dignified judiciary should develop their skills. Lawyers should never stop learning the techniques of the profession. Reading every day is the hallmark of a good, capable lawyer,” he said.

Speaking at the event, High Court judges A.D. Jagadish Chandra, N. Satheeshkumar, and G.K. Muthukumar said that in the noble and respected legal profession, one can achieve success in life if one has truth, integrity, and hard work to uphold dharma, and that young lawyers should care about protecting social welfare with ethical principles of life, without doing injustice to anyone, without discrimination, and without acting against their conscience.

At this event, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry Bar Council members participated in large numbers, including Government Advocate General Vijay Narayan, Bar Council of India member P.S. Amalraj, and Advocates Registration Committee members K. Tamilvanan and D. Michael Stanis Prabhu. Bar Council Vice Chairman E. Palamurugan delivered the vote of thanks. Earlier, on behalf of the Bar Council, mementos were presented to and honored by Supreme Court Judge V. Mohana and other judges.
