He quoted Aharon Barak, former chief  justice of Israel who said that there are two important functions of judges firstly, to uphold constitution and rule of law; and secondly, to bridge the gap between the law and the society. He also said making junior bar strong is very very important for success of our  judicial and legal system.  He also said that this book must be in the hands of every young lawyer who is hoping to make a mark in the legal profession.

Senior Advocate P Chidambaram emphasised on the changing dynamics of the legal profession and the efforts put in by the new generation to succeed as a lawyer. He has written an elaborate Foreword in the book. He also said that lawyers must grab every opportunity to argue before the court especially  an opportunity to argue a case against a senior lawyer because that is the best way to test your skills. He said young lawyers should never be intimidated with the age and experience of the lawyer on the other side.

Mr.Fali S. Nariman lit up the audience’s attention with his exemplary analogies, limericks and anecdotes to quote from his personal life. He said that one must remain occupied and keep learning and undertake work even if it doesn't pay but gives experience, for value of Rupee may go down, but the same is not true for experience. He motivated the audience by saying that one must remain honest in his purpose and not in terms of paying taxes only.
