India’s Legal System Needs Urgent Reform, Says CJI Chandrachud
Chief Justice of India (CJI) D.Y. Chandrachud has voiced a critical need for comprehensive reforms within India’s legal system. He stressed that the system is in dire need of attention and improvement.
Investing in the Future of Indian Law
CJI Chandrachud’s call for reform goes beyond mere infrastructural changes. He highlighted the importance of investing not only in institutions but also in nurturing the next generation of legal professionals. This includes supporting mentorship programs, research fellowships, policy labs, and fostering local innovation ecosystems.
Retaining Top Legal Talent
A key aspect of the CJI’s message focuses on creating an environment that encourages talented legal minds to contribute to the Indian legal landscape. He emphasized the need for ethical workplaces that attract and retain top talent, ultimately reducing the “brain drain” of legal professionals seeking opportunities abroad. By fostering a supportive and stimulating professional environment within India, the CJI believes the country can ensure its legal system benefits from the expertise of its brightest minds.
