Supreme Court Justice Advises Judges, Lawyers to Avoid Social Media After Public Interest Cases

Supreme Court Justice Sunil Kumar Pokharel has urged judges and lawyers to avoid social media on days they argue or rule on public interest cases. He advised that reactions on social media, whether praise or criticism, can negatively impact the psychology of legal professionals. Pokharel suggested that refraining from checking social media on such days allows public opinion to evolve, mitigating the effects of immediate reactions.
