Madras HC Chief Justice M Yusuf Eqbal hits out at conditional fee arrangements (CFAs) being entered into by lawyers representing motor accident victims. “It is a great sin to the legal profession that lawyers are taking a percentage of the compensation awarded to accident victims. In MCOP cases, legal ethics should come into play. When family members of an accident victim seek legal help, lawyers must take it as a God-given opportunity to serve the people,” he said. [IBN Live]

Also the two persons are not senior associates.
As far as I know, both persons in the video are actually senior associates, according to my sources.
and your sources are wrong.
Although, they did win two very old Blackberrys, and possibly a 2GB iPod Shuffle.
And to be fair, it is quite stressful being on TV, so we can attribute the trouncing to nerves perhaps.
One of them is definitely a senior associate, according to his linked in, and I was told the other is a senior associate, or maybe a principal associate? Would be grateful for confirmation.
i think the other one is only an associate. not a pa for sure. has amarchand announced its promotions?
A lawyer should know only law? A lawyer should not know about technology or general knowledge stuff? Good thinking, you belong to mental asylum.
My batchmate at law school was a rockstar at business quiz, he managed to reach finals/win prestigious events like Tata Crucible and ET quiz. He continues to be a lawyer besides bringing laurels to his organization/college.

Quoting x:
Wow coming from someone who cannot even spell alumni right. :p
stop being condescending without doing your DD first.
If one follows your arguments that we lawyers are duty bound to question illogical statements maybe we should start with Kian and then X. A 20 point difference in the final scores is not a trouncing. Especially if the other episodes have had ended with 40/50 point differences. So unless Kian and X have stronger words than trounce for those margins lets reply to their logic first.
somewhere in the sub-conscious, clents know this too- hence the lure of the old, establisged firms which have demonstrably survived strong factions. explains why some new clients still go safe with say a crawford over say the new bright heaps of acronyms. not that this is a good thing, just to explain a behaviour.
