Supreme Court Judge Justice Jasti Chalamesh-war opined that the terminology used by the legal fraternity was not at satisfactory levels and suggested that law colleges address the gap.

Addressing the gathering of the law fraternity in the seminar hall of Dr B.R. Ambedkar Law College, Andhra University, at a re-union meeting organised by old students of the college on Saturday, he said that the culture in the law profession was undergoing a turnaround.

He inaugurated the lecture hall, named 19(1) (a), in the premises of the Law College and addressed a gathering at Room No. 28, where he studied and shared his joyful moments with his teachers, colleagues and classmates of the 1973-76 batch.

Given that arguments are normally recorded in the judgement and used as references in the future, language has to be improved, he felt.

Justice Chalameshwar said also said that ethics and standards were declining in legal education and had to be addressed by institutions; at the same time the quality of services rendered by the legal fraternity to the public was increasing gradually.

He said that expression and simple writing were important than style.

that even though he had graduated from Loyola College, Chennai, in second class, he could achieve the highest position with hard work.

He said that experience was different from knowledge.

Justices Chalameshwar and Justice Seshasayana Reddy, acting chairperson of the Human Rights Commission, Kakumanu Pedaperi Reddy, were felicitated by the organisers. Principal of the college Prof. Kesava Rao said that the college had produced 5 High Court judges and most students occupied highest positions in various universities and national schools of law across the country.

In-charge vice-chancellor and principal secretary of education, Mr M.G. Gopal, the former chairman of the Bar Council of India, Mr D.V. Subba Rao, the Law College principal, Mr V. Keshav Rao, Dr Y. Lakshmiprasad and others participated.
