CJI Surya Kant Urges Lawyers to Prioritize Merit Over Social Media Popularity

Chief Justice of India Surya Kant recently spoke to new lawyers called Advocates-on-Record.

He told them to focus on being good at their jobs and working hard, not just being popular on social media.

He said that real success comes from doing good work in court and helping people who need legal help.

He also warned them not to rely too much on artificial intelligence (AI) for their work.

Instead, they should use AI as a helper but not let it replace their own thinking and skills.

He reminded them to always follow professional ethics and set a good example for others.
