By Setalvad Motilal C.

Motilal C. Setalvad`s inheritance was rich in law. His father Sir Chimanlal was a great lawyer, but his stature as an advocate did not match his legal acumen. My senior Sir Jamshedji Kanga used to say that Chimanlal was one of the greatest advocates he had ever heard. Kanga, himself a giant at the Bar,knew what he was talking about. Chimanlal and Kanga, and Bhulabhai (though years younger) were all good friends. Motilal was both a great lawyer and a great Advocate. He ennobled the consummate art of the advocated. A brief, cogent and logial argument came to be described in his own lifetime as being in the Motilal Setalvad style - the greatest tribute to an advocate. Brevity to him was not just a piece of advice for the practising lawyer - it was a word to live by. There were no cobwebs in his well-stocked and well-ordered mind. He was precise - at times so precise that after having expressed himself in a few short sentences he felt there was really nothing more to be said in the case. Those who saw and heard Motilal know that his greatest contribution as an advocate was the example he set - putting across the best points in the briefest possible space of time.
