There are a very few figures
in the history of our culturally, linguistically and ethnically
diverse nation that have been able to change the course of history of
our country. Many of them have been gifted to us by the field of law,
including Mahatma Gandhi himself. In times of political and economic
upheavals, it is evident that alongside law-makers, lawyers, jurists
and other law professionals have great power to influence the future
of a democracy as ours. There are plenty of powerful legal
personalities that encourage the youth of today to become lawyers
themselves. As the SET
exam 2018 Maharashtra,
comes closer and budding lawyers prepare their way to success, we
bring to you three such personalities who have inspired generations
of lawyers and continue doing so!

His name alone brings a vibe
of inspiration for aspiring lawyers. Jethmalani, who graduated with
an LLB at the tender age of 18, has been in the field since decades
and progressed on to major political positions too. He came into
public attention through a criminal case K. M. Nanavati vs. State of
Maharashtra. This is the case that the popular film Rustom was a
fictionalised account of. He went on to become the Minister of Law
and Justice and is now a member of Rajya Sabha.
Soli Sorabjee
Sorabjee studied law at the
Government Law College and is known for his defence of freedom of
expression and the protection of human rights. He climbed the success
ladder and went on to become a Senior Advocate of the Supreme Court
of India. Then, he held the position of Solicitor General of India
from 1977 to 1980 and now holds a number of positions of national and
international repute.

Fali Nariman has been a hero
for many and remains to be an influential figure. In 1950, he secured
a law degree from Government Law College, University of Mumbai. He is

Rehabilitation case. He also appeared in major cases like Golak Nath,
