Rohini, Chief Justice, Delhi High Court & Chancellor of NLU, Delhi presided over the Convocation and conferred the degrees to 67 successful students of BA.LLB., 21 students of LL.M & three Ph.D scholars..

Speaking at occasion, Union Finance Minister and senior supreme court lawyer Arun Jaitley noted with concern that legal academics faced massive manpower crunch and also said the best minds from the legal profession required to come forward to join the judiciary. After 1991 - economic liberalization - there's been an unleashing of energies and the citizens have become entitled to rise to the level of their own potential and, along with it, opened new areas for lawyers as well”, he said pointing out that these days youngsters are increasingly joining corporate law firms rather than taking interest in litigation. Addressing the law students, Jaitley further said the phrase 'brain drain' was no more relevant and India now has a brain bank that can serve the society, the country and the world.With its talented manpower, India can play a bigger role in the world, especially in the developed countries, which are facing shortage of workforce, he said.
