73 Years Of Legal Career! Kerala Advocate Receives Guinness For Longest Serving Lawyer
The 97-year-old P Balasubramanian Menon, a Kerala-based advocate, recently received the Guinness World Records as the longest serving male lawyer of the globe. It was his 73 years and 60 days of career helped Mr Menon to secure a place in the Guinness Book of World Records at the age of 97.
Mr Menon, a native of Kerala’s Palakkad district was graduated from the Madras Law College and started his litigation career in the early 1950s. He continued to practice on the civil side in his hometown, reports the Live Law.
Earlier it was Louis Triay, who held the record of longest serving male lawyer. He died at the age of 94 in February, 2023. Mr Triay was associated with the Gibraltar government and had 70 years and 311 days in his pocket as a practising lawyer.
Advocate Menon is expected to continue his practice until his health conditions permits, says multiple reports. He set a significant milestone in the legal field and is a true inspiration. He will remain in history forever and is a proud factor for Indian judiciary.
As the Times of India reports, Mr Menon is very much active in his profession even at this advanced age and goes to office and courts daily. “When a party approaches me with a case, he is coming by trusting me… I will do whatever I can do for them”, he said earlier in a television interview. He does not believe in arguing too much and his arguments are known very well for its clarity and the cross examinations are short in nature.
