"CHANGING OF THE GUARD"

Perpetual Law an oath worthy term astounding to the ears if someone utters the very words; they say prestige is what it

brings. 

A former Associate Justice of the Supreme Court brought the honor and prestige to this institution his very name fused his

integrity, honor and candor to this institution. 

Almost all of us choose to be in this institution one way or the other with reason attached to his name. 

Sudden and unexpected or too early to call, but there are things that really just have to end, and noises roaming around

that it will never be the same.. 

Prestige were gone along with the departure of our beloved "JUSTICE" and his gang of legal luminaries, indeed we have

high regards to those people and they will forever remain in the pedestal that our sub-conscious mind have created and

made them legends in their own right. 

In their honor I thank them for the experience and the chance to just even meet them, their wisdom will forever be carried

and inculcated in us as a person, having short-lived experience with the mentioned legal luminaries in attending their

classes as a law student and definitely their influence will stay as a Perpetualite. 

Now a new time has come to this institution not even yet tried and proven the worth of the new “GUARD” insinuations are

evident, there may be lapses still the benefit of the doubt should be rendered that is why full cooperation and

communication is important to maintain and preserve the honoured prestige and integrity of the very institution that is left

with us. 

To the one’s left, the torch of passion and gratitude shall pass on, let us embody the values that our mentors taught us, let

us continue the fight and take it hard and prove that we are worth of the respect and prestige this institution have had and

will continually remain. 

Pseudo pretensions that the flame died and will never burn the same way it did, still it is worth giving a try, and to those

who are willing to quit and give up I say “Be sure you are right then go ahead… “GOODLUCK to all of us”. 

Perpetual Law, unending, infinite, let no one obstruct the course it should take.
