In her address, Harleen A Sharma, Registrar-cum-Additional District and Session Judge, Chandigarh Judicial Academy said, “Judiciary does not need perfection but preparation and purpose. “The journey to the Bench is quite demanding. So, read deeply, think critically and write fearlessly. Argue respectfully and above all remain grounded in ethics. As future judges, you must remember that justice is not about winning or losing, it’s about fairness. Every judgement and order has a power to change life, to restore dignity, to protect liberty, and to uphold constitutional values. But remember, before one becomes a judge, one must first become a lawyer of integrity, a student of discipline, and a human being of empathy,”.
