The Chairman BCI
Dear Sir,
With all due Regards,
If BCI is of the opinion that the all the students are not upto the standard desired, and the degrees they are getting are not upto the mark then following steps must be taken to maintain the standard in legal professional services as :
1. Keep regular watch on the syllabus of Universities and the standard must be maintained at college level also.
2. To arrange for studies for the Law Graduates to upgrade for the standards as BCI thinks Fit, for the older Batches of students also .
3. To arrange to amend the ACT accordingly first.
4. After taking the above steps the decision of the BCI for conducting the TEST is highly appreciable and acceptable to all. Without Taking the above steps first, it clearly reflects that that BCI have no concern to the carriers of the students and the decision of conducting the Test is merely for collecting the funds from the students and also a foul play with the decision of the Hon'able Supreme Court of India with the Intention to Improve the standards in the Legal Profession.
Such a irresponsible behavior is not expected from the side of so much higher authority like BCI.
Work accordingly irrespective of the commencement Batch. We all are with you irrespective of conditional practice Certificate. What the BCI want for Improvement Kindly arrange to amend the act accordingly. We all are always with you.
Thanks & Regards
How long this uncertainty will continue, why don't u (BCI) start the exam from fresh batch i.e. from this year. The BCI is making problem for the new entrants (advocates) who already obtained the Bar Council membership. Better cancel the exam for ever, let us live peacefully and continue our practice. If we have guts we will show our talent in the Hon'ble Courts but, not with this type of exams.
What is the rationale of keeping 1300 Rs as exam fee. which is ridiculous. So let us boycott the exam. when we received the Bar coucil enrollment card and certificate, nothing is explicitly mentioned that we can practise only after this test. What is the legal sanctitiy of this test to those who are already bar council memebers.
So let us focus on our practise and boycott this exam.
In most countries, law is treated as a post graduate course. Aspiring law students do a three (or four) year undergraduate course, obtain a degree and then study law. In India, by having an integrated 5yr BA LLb course, one year is shaved off the total education i.e. 10+2+5 rather than 10+2+3+3. It doesn't make the course any better. Any suggestion to eliminate the 3 yr post graduate degree course would retrict the profession of law to arts students and keep graduates of other disciplines - science, commerce, engineering, (dare I say it) medicine away. This would be a retrogade step and the profession would be the loser.
I also think suggestions to impose an age limit are also uwarranted. Why shouldn't someone who has chosen to work after getting a degree be allowed to further his education? I was involved in a maritime law case in the US. All the lawyers (on both sides) and there were several had worked on ships - one was a retired USCG Captain - and had practical experience. They did'nt any assistance from technical advisers to understand what the witnesses were deposing.
