Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, addressing law students at Chanakya National Law University in Patna, emphasized the importance of empathy in the legal system, stating it distinguishes a just society from an unjust one. He advised students to remain grounded in self-belief and steadfast, acknowledging that while external markers of success like salaries and rankings are relevant, they are not definitive. He cautioned against complete surrender to work, urging them to retain empathy and judgment, and to use their skills for the benefit of those in need.
