CJI expresses concern over ‘exodus of young talent’ from legal practice

NEW DELHI: Chief Justice of India (CJI) Sanjiv Khanna has expressed concern over the “exodus of young talent” from litigation practice and said there is a need to ensure their financial and social security.

Speaking at the “Felicitation Function” organised by the Bar Council of India, Khanna said there is a need to create a minimum remuneration standard for young advocates in the first few years of their career.

“The exodus of young talent from litigation practice is not merely about personal choice rather it is symptomatic of the structural issues, such as meagre financial and social security in the profession, especially for the first-generation lawyers.
