It is important to gradually rework the underlying principles to make administration of justice more representative and responsive to the citizens,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font: 14px\/22px Tahoma, Arial, Georgia; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; border: 0px currentColor; color: #000000; text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; word-spacing: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: #ffffff; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;\">He advised students and practitioners to see legal education much beyond than a means of livelihood. &#8220;It must encourage them to constantly think about how their actions will affect the common man. Along with proficiency in the traditionally identified skills of legal reasoning, research and writing, students must be encouraged to attach utmost importance to the enduring principles of equality, liberty, fraternity with unflinching support for social justice.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font: 14px\/22px Tahoma, Arial, Georgia; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; border: 0px currentColor; color: #000000; text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; word-spacing: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: #ffffff; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;\">The President said while legal education had undergone a paradigm shift in the last two decades, there were still many areas that require further strengthening.
