Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has said there is a need for huge manpower in legal academics and the best minds from the legal profession should come forward to join the judiciary.
Addressing the third annual Convocation of the National Law University in New Delhi on Sunday, Jaitley said fresh minds are required while drafting legislation in tune with modern trends.
In law, traditional areas of family disputes, land disputes, have been now replaced by those like international trade, taxation, and intellectual property, he added.
And, in today's competitive world, things like family, surname, hereditary or lineage would not matter but people would watch the quality and caliber, he stated further.
