*14.3.’21, PEARLS OF WISDOM :*

“In the morning, before Courts begin their proceedings everyday, it is customary for both lawyers and Judges to bow. They bow not to each other but to the Goddess of Justice. In their hurry resulting from concentration on different cases which are being tried from day to day, both Judges and lawyers are apt to forget the solemn significance of the first act of bowing. It is this act which imprints upon the proceedings in Courts a truly ethical character, never mind whether the case is small and involves a petty claim or very heavy and large claim or it is simple enough or is complicated in law.
The Courts were Temple of Justice, Judges and lawyers are fellow worshipers, dedicated to the service of justice.”
