Chennai: Supreme Court Judge V. Mohana has urged young lawyers to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology with caution and uphold professional ethics, integrity and dignity in their legal practice.

The advice was given at a ceremony organised at the Madras High Court auditorium, where 4,700 law graduates were enrolled as advocates with the Bar Council of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry.

The new advocates took their oath administered by Mohana Krishnan, Chairperson of the Bar Council's Enrollment Committee. The graduates participated in the ceremony both in person and online.

Congratulating the new lawyers, Madras High Court Chief Justice S. A. Dharmadhikari said continuous learning and regular study were essential qualities of a good lawyer. He reminded them that learning should never stop once they entered the profession.

Madras High Court Judges A. D. Jagadish Chandira, N. Satish Kumar and G. K. Muthukumar also advised the young advocates to maintain discipline, good conduct and high ethical standards.

Addressing the gathering, Justice Mohana cautioned lawyers against misleading courts or giving incorrect advice to clients. She also urged them to treat adverse court orders as learning opportunities rather than reasons to lose confidence.

"Learn from your mistakes and correct them. This is a highly talented generation. Use that talent constructively," she said.

The event was attended by Bar Council office-bearers, members, serving and former judges, lawyers and law students.

The enrolment of 4,700 advocates on a single day is the highest in the history of the Bar Counci
