Senior Supreme Court advocate K.K. Venugopal has called upon young advocates not to solely depend on the Internet to study and present their cases. “Instead, go through the resource materials prepared by the legal luminaries of the nation,” he said.
Delivering the convocation address at the third annual convocation of the Karnataka State Law University (KSLU) here on Friday, Mr. Venugopal said budding lawyers were heavily dependent on the Internet.
“But this alone would not suffice to have an in-depth knowledge of the subject matter. For, it was also noticed that the information available on the Internet was not always complete and failed to provide inclusive knowledge of the subject matter,” he said.

Mr. Venugopal pointed out that India has a rich resource of legal luminaries who have written many classic legal books.
“These books should find place in every house and college book shelves. These books provide plethora of information on Constitutional and civil laws and are of great help to the young advocates,” he said.
Law Minister T. B. Jayachandra, KSLU In-charge Vice-Chancellor C. S. Patil and others were present.
