Part 2 of our historic Legacy Series conversation with Professor H.D. Pithawalla - one of India’s longest-serving, most respected, and most beloved law professors.

For 53 years, Prof. Pithawalla has shaped three generations of lawyers - Chief Justices, senior counsels, managing partners, policy advisors, and thousands of practitioners across India and beyond.

In this episode, he speaks with disarming clarity and rare honesty about:

• Why students must stop studying “for exams”
• How to think like a lawyer, not memorize like a student
• The first moral temptation every young lawyer must resist
• The crisis of punctuality and professionalism
• The problem with adjournments and why litigants suffer
• What he learnt from giants like Nani Palkhivala, Ashok Desai & Ram Jethmalani
• Why knowledge, conscience and hard work are the real engines of a sustainable career
• Drafting Bhutan’s Contract Act - the responsibility he almost declined
• What legacy really means

This is more than an interview - it’s a bridge between generations.

The Legacy Series is created in collaboration with Solomon & Co., Advocates & Solicitors, one of India’s oldest law firms with 115+ years of heritage - united with us in preserving the wisdom of India’s greatest legal minds.
