Legal Era (LE): How did you decide to join the legal profession?
Senior Counsel Mr. Jamshed Pesi Cama (JP): It was a gut feeling of sorts. All my heroes were legal luminaries. Also I enjoyed arguing and so decided to take up law.
LE: Tell us something about your time at college.
JP: Undergraduate or law?
LE: Law. You were at Government Law College, Mumbai?

LE: So GLC was the same back then also?
JP: Yes. It appears to be so.
