Mumbai, Dec 21 (PTI) Lawyers should not consider their work just as business, but as social responsibility, Justice Bhushan Gavai of the Supreme Court said in Mumbai on Friday.

He was here to launch the IPL Cricket League of Lawyers on behalf of the Vasantdada Pratishthan Law College and Western India Advocate Association.

Stressing that lawyers should never forget social responsibility, Justice Gavai said, "Lawyers contributed to the freedom struggle. Even today many big lawyers are working in the political social field. Similarly, new students should also have social responsibility."
