In addition to personal recollections from Seervai’s friends and family, the book features 15 further accounts by distinguished legal professionals and Senior Counsel, offering insights into his life both inside and outside the courtroom. Lord Mackay, a former Lord Chancellor of England, recalls how Seervai delighted his young children by realistically imitating the calls of various birds using only his fingers, without any additional aids.

The book also includes Seervai’s writings, ranging from a powerful critique of The Supremo to a light-hearted piece entitled On Nothing, alongside tributes to distinguished legal figures and other notable individuals.

The collection of photographs captures different stages of Seervai’s life, from his early childhood and his time as an eight-year-old child priest to his experiences as a devoted family man and the recipient of various awards.

The volume concludes with an extensive collection of personal correspondence, complemented by several official letters.

Reflecting on The Seervai Legacy, Goolam Vahanvati observed that the editor seeks to take readers on a personal journey, one that promises to be both enjoyable and enriching.

Similarly, Evoking H.M. Seervai offers readers another engaging journey into the life, personality, and legacy of this eminent legal figure.
