Famous for his phenomenal power of concentration and persuasive advocacy, he was a supremely successful lawyer. Early in his career, he authored one of the finest commentaries on the law and practice of income tax.
His reputation as a constitutional lawyer is deservedly formidable. Palkhivala also represented India in three major international disputes. A man of many parts and strong opinions, he gave critical lectures on the annual budget, which attracted audiences in excess of 1,00, Amazingly, he never referred to a single note. An extraordinary human being, he gave generously, but quietly, to charitable causes.
The book provides a rare insight into his working methods and style of advocacy. No student of law, no lawyer, no chartered accountant, no member of the judiciary, and no well-informed citizen can afford to miss reading this book.

Instead he wanted to be an English Professor and his wife wanted him to be a civil servant. But due to unforeseen circumstances as described in the book , Nani became a lawyer and the rest is history. Barring one case almost all the constitutional law cases have been fought by Nani. Looking at such a huge number one can have a fair idea about how much Nani has affected lives of a common man. The Habeas Corpus case was the only one of the list of these landmark constitutional case which was not represented by Nani.
Nani was a tax lawyer first and then a constitutional lawyer. This book has devoted a special chapter to chronicle the tax law cases that Nani represented. In all this book is a must read for all those who wish to implement in themselves all the ideas that Nani stood for and about his work ethic as well.
Durlabh Raghuwanshi. Nani Palkivala is one of the most revered lawyers in the history of Indian Jurisprudence. Having advocated in almost all the landmark cases of Indian Judicial history of post independence era, Palkhivala has earned a place as the most respected lawyer of modern era.
This book perfectly captures the description of landmark cases that Palkhivala has advocated in honourable Supreme Court and other Tax related cases in various High Courts. The later part of the book also covers a few opinions that Palkhivala has given to various companies.
Hats off to Sorabjee and Datar for giving the reader an opportunity to live through the glorious years of Palkhivala in the most captivating and inspiring way. Rahul Raghuwanshi. I read it during my internship days As I had not much to do Got to know about an amazing jurist Nani while the book gives some major insight about the leading precedents of our nation like Golaknath, keshvanand bharti, privy purses, bank nationalisation etc.. On the other hand you get to know about Nani and his contribution towards our nation.
This books has to be a must read for a budding law student As it encapsulates facts and fervour both. One thing Nani thought me was importance of time How miniscule our lives are in time frame and how far we are behind from understanding the true nature of our lives. If you want to know the story of the greatest lawyer of independent India, this is the book.
Being a practicing lawyer myself, this is the best book among odd 25 others on law I have read. Written by 2 stalwarts lawyers, it is peppered with encouraging accounts, interesting court stories, useful judgments etc. If you are a law student or in your initial years of practice, its a must read. Mutahhar Khan.
If you're looking to read about Palkhivala's journey as a lawyer, you'll be disappointed. This is a mix between an eulogy and a discussion superficial one of some landmark cases Palkhivala was a part of. In one word - overrated the book not the man. You can give this one a miss even as a lawyer. Ayushram Nettar. Very good. Mukhtar Ahmad. Does anyone have the courtroom genius in pdf. Please send mukhtarahmad gmail. As a 'new' lawyer, I found this book extremely illuminating. The book covers cases that Nani Palkhivala has been associated with and the odd ones that he hasn't represented, across constitution, tax and labor, in India and a few arbitration cases he has represented internationally.
The constitutional cases have been explained in detail, so any lay person would find them extremely intriguing. What makes this a very good read is that the cases have been explained in the backdrop of the political spirit in India. Watch out for the exchange between Justice Ray and Palkhivala on the Keshavananda Bharti case; it's a delightful read.
There are however many questions that the book throws up on the nature of Palkhivala, for example: why did he argue for the 39th amendment after having argued the Keshavananda Bharti case? The other cases have been explained in a terse manner some using technical terms. On the whole, I would recommend this book to anyone that is interested in the historical background into especially constitutional precedents and evolving politics in India.
Vivek Anandh. If there is one lawyer who has attained immortality it is Palkhivala. The genius of the man cannot be better said than his real life works. This book is the true adage to his exploits in the court. I begun reading this book under the assumption that this is going to be one another biography with every page teeming with anecdotes of Palkhivala's life as a lawyer.
