Justice BV Nagarathna Cautions Law Students Against Comparing Success to "Exaggerated" LinkedIn Posts

Supreme Court Justice BV Nagarathna cautioned law students against comparing their progress to "exaggerated" achievements on platforms like LinkedIn.

Speaking at the 22nd K.K. Luthra Memorial Moot Court Competition, she emphasized that growth in the legal profession is rarely linear and urged students to focus on sincerity rather than competition.

Justice Nagarathna highlighted that true excellence stems from patience, integrity, and independent thinking, advising a preference for natural intelligence over AI.

She further encouraged young women to challenge systemic barriers and urged all aspiring lawyers to treat pro-bono cases with the same diligence as high-profile matters to ensure meaningful legal impact.
