New Delhi, November 25, 2020: The Managing Partner of Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas Cyril Shroff observed that "Law will never go out of fashion, nor will lawyers. But law will evolve for the new world, and so will lawyers" on Wednesday.

He was speaking during the inaugural session of the Jindal Global Virtual Conference on Legal Education.Shroff went on to share his opinions on what the future of law and legal education might look like, particularly in a post-pandemic world.

Shroff spoke of how the expectations of an ideal lawyer have evolved from the "I" and "T" shaped lawyers. I shaped lawyers from earlier generations mastered a single competency, possessed traditional and deep knowledge and training in one thing, Shroff explained, adding that he himself belonged to this generation.With time, around the late 90s and the early 2000s, the skill set required from a lawyer evolved leading to the rise of T shaped lawyers, who adapted to incorporate other general skills, including technological skills as well. Shroff remarked.

Shroff added that this kind of lawyer reflects on "the new humanity and the new world, and in the post-pandemic world, it is going to be even more so. It is the new formula for success."However, the present legal education system is falling short on producing these kinds of lawyers, Shroff opined.

Apart from Shroff, Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad also spoke during the inaugural session, which saw founding Chancellor Prof (Dr) C Raj Kumar deliver the welcome address.
