Mangaluru, April 9, 2022: In the past advocates had played a crucial role in the freedom struggle, the present day advocates should come forward to respond to social problems, said Karnataka High Court Judge P Krishna Bhat.

He was speaking after inaugurating a Legal Workshop organised at the SDM Law College Auditorium on April 9, Saturday under the aegis of the South region unit of Adhivakta Parishat and the Legal Aid unit of SDM Law College.

Pointing out that Mahatma Gandhiji, Jawaharlal Nehru, Motilal Nehru, Sardar Vallabha Bhai Patel and many more freedom fighters were also advocates, he exhorted the present day advocates to try to solve societal issues.

There may be many laws, but  change in attitude and thinking is what is needed most. Many a times lawyers can solve even the most complex problems in a simple way, he added.
