At the Law office of Lily Thomas & Saju Jakob, we believe in fostering a culture of legal learning, critical thinking, and public dialogue. Our Events serve as a platform for engagement with the broader legal community, offering opportunities for education, discussion, and reflection on the issues that shape our legal system and society.
Among our flagship initiatives is the Lily Thomas Memorial Lecture Series, established to honor the life and legacy of the renowned advocate and constitutional reformer. The series brings together eminent jurists, scholars, and thought leaders to explore pressing legal and constitutional issues, celebrating the spirit of justice and reform that defined Lily Thomas’s career.
Complementing the lecture series is the Lily Thomas Essay Competition, which encourages law students and young professionals to engage deeply with contemporary legal challenges. Through rigorous writing and research, participants are invited to carry forward Lily Thomas’s commitment to advocacy, equality, and the rule of law.
We invite you to explore our events and be part of the conversations that continue to shape the future of law and justice.
