Agartala, March 14, 2026: Justice of the Supreme Court of India, Ujjal Bhuyan, on Saturday stressed that continuous learning and unwavering integrity are the cornerstones of the legal profession while addressing students at the “2nd Apanshu Mohan Lodh Memorial Public Lecture” organised by National Law University Tripura.
Speaking to the gathering, Justice Bhuyan said he always feels comfortable interacting with young students, noting that despite differences in age and experience, both judges and students remain lifelong learners of law. Emphasising the dynamic nature of the profession, he remarked that the idea of completing legal education upon graduation is a myth. According to him, law is a field where rules constantly evolve, making continuous learning essential throughout a lawyer’s career.
He also highlighted that legal education nurtures imagination and critical thinking. A lawyer, he said, should not remain confined to law books alone but must understand history, science and social realities to serve society effectively.
Referring to the transformation of legal education in India since the establishment of the first national law university in 1985, Justice Bhuyan noted that today students have diverse career opportunities ranging from litigation and judiciary to academia and policy-making.
Encouraging students to pursue advocacy, he described litigation as a deeply satisfying profession. He also cautioned young lawyers against blindly relying on artificial intelligence, stressing the need to verify information carefully.
Vice-Chancellor of the National Law University Tripura, Prof. Yogesh Pratap Singh, on Saturday welcomed distinguished guests, academicians and students to the Second Apanshu Mohan Lodh Memorial Public Lecture organised to commemorate the life and legacy of former judge Apanshu Mohan Lodh.
MD of Tripura Times newspaper Avishikta Lodh spoke about the legacy of late Shri Apanshu Mohan Lodh, Justice Arindam Lodh, Chairperson of the Tripura Human Rights Commission and former Judge of the High Court of Tripura gave the vote of thanks.
