The Legacy Series, presented in collaboration with Solomon & Co. (one of India's oldest law firms with over 115 years of heritage), is our humble attempt to preserve the wisdom and contributions of the giants of India’s legal profession.

Mentorship under Mr. K.K. Venugopal and the values that shaped his career
Representing the Tamil Nadu Police in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination investigation
The 11-year preparation and 40-day courtroom marathon of the Ram Janmabhoomi case
How he navigates faith, media, and the courtroom with balance
Resolving complex interstate water disputes
Adapting advocacy styles across India’s courts
The real role of Solicitor Generals and public prosecutors
The soul-satisfying cases that shaped his worldview
Why classical music, brevity in argument, and clarity in thought matter
Practical insights on judicial delay and courtroom productivity
His legacy as a mentor to future judges and senior advocates
The importance of communication, independence, and ethics in law
This episode is a masterclass for lawyers, law students, policymakers, and every Indian citizen interested in justice, democracy, and public service.
