During N.R. Madhava Menon’s stint in Pondicherry as the founding principal of the Government Law College, I had opportunities to interact with him and, at a later stage, when the National Law School in Bengaluru was set up (OpEd page, “The Madhava Menon model of legal education”, May 14). We need a Madhava Menon in every academic discipline. I found him involved in his academic pursuits even when he faced personal problems. Extending legal aid to the poor was dear to him.
