We were privileged to be part of an intellectually enriching interaction with Mr. Kapil Sibal, Senior Advocate and Member of Parliament, held on 22.11.2025. The session was organised in association with NC Legal: Advocates & Solicitors and was held alongside Mr. Shubhank Khare and the eager students of law. The evening was a masterclass in law, public policy, and the dedication required in the legal profession.
The interaction unfolded as a masterclass on law, public policy, and the unwavering commitment required to excel in the legal profession, drawing from Mr. Sibal’s decades of unparalleled experience.
Key Insights from the Conversation
The discussion went far beyond theoretical constructs, offering practical wisdom and real-world perspectives on legal practice, governance, and professional ethics. Advocates Nivedita Chauhan, Komal Singh, and Tanvi Mahajan engaged in a particularly insightful exchange with Mr. Sibal, delving into reflections from his distinguished legal journey and public life.
1. Past Experience & First Steps: Mr. Sibal was to share his most challenging past experiences and, notably, his experience of his very first case against a senior counsel. His reflections offered a motivating perspective on overcoming initial hurdles in litigation.
2. Time Management & Hectic Schedules: Given his roles as Senior Advocate handling high stake matters, a Member of Parliament, a podcaster, and a poet, it was discussed how he successfully manages his hectic schedule.
3. The Attire Debate: Mr. Sibal also shared a candid and practical opinion on a more immediate professional issue: he was of the view that the advocate’s coat should not be made mandatory, citing the sheer discomfort and impracticality given Delhi’s weather conditions.
Moments like these profoundly highlight the value of direct mentorship, meaningful dialogue, and exposure to experienced leaders who truly inspire the next generation of legal minds.
A truly memorable and motivating experience for everyone involved!
