Ranganathan Memorial lectures delivered by Justice Gopal Sri Ram Judge Court of Appeal Malaysia Kuala Lumpur from 23rd to 25th August 2006 in Bangalore.

It serves the society and serves the exigencies of change of times and social needs. The principles of basic law are eternal and universal. But concepts change from time to time according to the needs of the society and the demand of public interest. A person in the legal profession has to keep abreast with development of law. Information plays a key role in this regard. The law changes and develops not merely by legislation but by the disciplined interpretative of judges. While judges follow the principles of binding precedents they shape the law to the needs of the situation by appropriately interpreting such precedents.
