LEGACY 2 | The Weight of Legacy | Justice S.K. Kaul & Aakanksha Kaul

Описание: The most important legal conversations rarely happen inside courtrooms.

They happen behind chamber doors.
Between hearings.
Across generations.

Because in some families, law is not just a profession.

It becomes legacy.

For over two decades, Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul served on the Bench, including as a Judge of the Supreme Court of India. His journey through the law has also been shaped by history, public office, institutional responsibility and a deeply personal connection with Kashmir.

But what happens when the next generation enters the same profession?

For Advocate Aakanksha Kaul, growing up around the law also meant navigating the weight of a surname, the perception of access, and the challenge of building a professional identity of her own.

Does legacy create privilege, or does it raise the standard by which you are judged?

Should judges’ children have to prove themselves more than everyone else?

And how do a father and daughter, from different generations of the profession, think about ambition, restraint, technology, independence and change?

In this episode of Off The Record | LEGACY, Justice S.K. Kaul (Retd.) and Advocate Aakanksha Kaul speak candidly about judicial families, perceived privilege, professional independence, life on the Bench, the changing legal profession, Kashmir, and the responsibilities that come with carrying a legacy forward.

At one point, Justice Kaul offers a striking standard from his own experience of considering lawyers for judgeship: if the candidate was a judge’s child, they had to be “10% better” because of the perceived privilege that came with the name.

Because sometimes, inheriting a legacy doesn’t make the road easier.

It makes the expectations higher.

Off The Record | LEGACY is a series about the people behind power, and the stories behind influence.

Power, brought on record.
