For the purpose of conveying the values of justice and constitution to the general people, CJI Chandrachud asked the teachers of the law universities across the country to ensure that even vernacular languages are not glossed over while they teach principles of law to the students.
"I often discuss with my colleagues and all the educationists of the country as to how the study of law can be taught in simple language.
We teach those principles well in English, but we often find ourselves uncomfortable explaining those principles in regional languages.
If we are not able to explain the principles of law to the general public in simple language, then it shows the lack of legal profession and legal education.
This affects the common citizens, especially the weaker section of the society," the CJI said .

"I often discuss with my colleagues and all the educationists of the country as to how the study of law can be taught in simple language. As such, there are certain rules and basic principles in different provisions of the Constitution.
