Ram Jethmalani: “Media is responsible for miscarriages of justice”

Ram Jethmalani was probably the most famous lawyer in India. He told us his story from his early days in Sindh to becoming a Senior Advocate and member of Parliament. He shared some amazing historical anecdotes along with his thoughts on professional ethics, politics, trial by media and the state of the legal profession. This one is a must watch!

Any successful lawyer like most other successful professionals from other disciplines will talk big but will NOT stop short of making money by lying. Top lawyers will twist the facts, present it like an ikebana and make sure that the heinous criminal (i.e. their wealthy client) is acquitted. Unfortunately, the court and the judge decide who is a criminal and once they are pronounced innocent, who am I to even call them a criminal, Not?! I am wondering if there is a profession at all, where people have retained their integrity through out their career, especially at the top?! Administrators, Politicians, Lawyers, Doctors, CEOs and Artists just lose their self in the race to the top. These people are highly accomplished, many of them made it big from scratch...but some where in the last few laps they developed a high tendency to cheat. And then, some cheated, some lost! The very few others in the remainder lot are exceptions and truly revered.
