During Delhi Arbitration Weekend 2025, THE LAW sat down with former Supreme Court of India Justice Hima Kohli for an expansive conversation led by Ashrakat Makky.

From her early years in public service to her trailblazing role as the first woman Chief Justice of the High Court for the State of Telangana, Justice Kohli reflects on leadership, judicial independence, and the pursuit of justice in an evolving democracy.

The discussion spans the challenges of virtual courts during the pandemic, the future of mediation, diversity and marginalization within the legal system, and the delicate task of applying the law without losing sight of empathy or cultural nuance.
