Mangaluru: Newly elected Mangaluru Bar Association president Jagadish Shenava said the legal profession offers unmatched opportunities for recognition, respect and financial success, and urged law students to view it as a field with limitless potential. He was speaking at a felicitation programme organised by Alva’s Law College for Shenava and newly elected Moodubidire Bar Association president Sharath Shetty on Saturday. Recalling his journey, Shenava said he had contested college student elections and later participated in an all-college student union election. His election as president of the Mangaluru Bar Association marked his third major electoral victory. Stressing that lawyers need not remain confined to courtrooms, Shenava said they can excel as leaders, policymakers and corporate professionals. Unlike many professions that have a retirement age, law offers opportunities for meaningful engagement throughout one’s lifetime, he added. Speaking on the occasion, Moodbidri Bar Association president Sharath Shetty said lawyers play a vital role in ensuring justice, equality and the rule of law, making it one of the most respected professions in society.
