spoke at the Law Career Days event organized by TOBB ETU students. Quoting Emile
Zola, “The honor of the Republic is justice,” the TOBB President stated that
justice also forms the foundations of faith. “If the legal system works well,
the sense of trust in society increases,” emphasizing the importance of trust
in community institutions and law for the proper functioning of the economy.
Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “Law, like water and bread, is a basic necessity of
society. If your legal system is strong, your economy becomes stronger and prosperity
increases. If your legal system works well, you can dominate the world.”

President Hisarcıklıoğlu said that justice stands as a pole star and everything
else revolves around it. “Lawyers should not be cut off from the society. We
also have a great entrepreneurial spirit. Entrepreneurs are the wealth of this
community. There is no wealth without trade. The number of entrepreneurs must
be high for the society to be rich. For this, the legal system must function well.
Hisarcıklıoğlu
urged law students to give importance to team work and to keep honesty at the
forefront of their lives.
