I warmly welcome you all on this third session of the 'Meet a Lawman  Series'.  The objective  of  the  series,  which in fact it has been able to achieve, is  percolation  of  ideas  to harness us to become better professional. This series is enabling us to realise the uphill route to success in this profession. This series is also providing us insight into the feelings and thoughts of  the  leading personalities in our profession, who have reached great  heights  by  recognizing and  manifesting  independence  of spirit and a very deep sense of dedication  to  the  cause  of justice.

Every person has an integrity, a quality of character and when he observes it,  whatever he  does,  turns  out to be well in the end. The integrity makes him the sort of  man  he  is  and helps  people to repose trust in the innate goodness and virtuosity of all men. These  people  are able  to  make  a clear face of the situations and maintain serenity and poise even  in  the  most exacting crises.

Justice Holmes  in  his speech delivered at Harvard University on  'The  Profession  of Law', said :-

"The  law is the calling of thinkers... If your subject is law, the roads  are  plain to anthropology,  the  science  of  man,  to  political  economy,  the  theory   of legislation, ethics and thus by several paths to your final view  of  life...To  be master  of any branch of knowledge, you must master those which lie next  to  it and  thus  to  know anything you must know all.... No result  is  easy  which  is worth having.  Your  education begins when what is called  your  education  is over  ...Only when you have worked alone.... and in hope and in despair  have trusted to your own unshaken will then only will you have achieved. Thus, only can  you  gain the secret isolated joy of the thinker, who knows that,  a  hundred year  after  he is dead,... man who never heard of him will be  moving  to  the measurer  of his thought..., which to his prophetic vision is more real  than  that which commands and army".

I  welcome  you all to make best use of the wide experiences expressed here,  by  those who have relentlessly contributed for more than four decades, to make the life of man on  this diminishing earth more secure and more tolerable by making available, Justice for all.
