Respected Advocates, today We feel sorry to have such non-professional advocates and Committee members who don’t wish to comply with codes of conduct and act out of the boundaries of professional Ethics. Such acts of lawyers towards the law students, unregistered Advocates (who are not enrolled as an Advocate), munshis, may put the reputation and prestige of this notable Profession at a huge stake.
On the other hand, law students should now realise, that Profession of law is the most prestigious, respectful and esteemed profession. If someone who is not enrolled as an advocate, simply means he would not be allowed to sit in the space which is specified only for Enrolled Advocates. In order to cater them, the Bar Association have already established private canteens where all the private individuals can sit and have lunch times.
In order to maintain the decorum of the Bar room, in my opinion, humiliating any Law Student, private Munshis, Unregistered Advocates, in-front and on the face of Other Advocates, is drawing a negative picture on the curtain of Public as well as Judiciary. I want to convey a soft message to all the law students who pretend to be Enrolled Advocates and using the title of advocate to fulfils their motives, rather positive or negative. Please try to understand this rule which could be beneficial for all of you. If you want to protect your self-respect, if you want to safeguard your future litigation, you must oblige the regulations of Bar Association.
Furthermore, this is my Humble opinion to the office bearers of the Bar, instead of humiliating Un-enrolled advocates, they should restrain them by cautioning the Law Schools & colleges through a notification stating that the law schools should restrict their students to appearing before any court of law and sitting in bar rooms having no justification, stop using the names of advocates behind their motives. The law schools should teach the students that sitting is bar rooms having no enrolment cards, is completely unethical. They should be provided a proper ethical guidance by their law schools. So technically, my point which I am trying to convey is, the office bearers should take precautions by alarming the law schools that if the students of their law schools are spotted in Bar rooms, litigating before any Court of law, or mis-behaving with any Senior Council, so in that case necessary legal action would be taken against those law schools and the law schools shall be held responsible for not providing the basic ethical information to their students.
So, my Respectable fellow advocates, my honourable Bar bearers, stop using the sword of your profession instead of using it as a shield. On the other part, I would like to convey the message to those law students, unregistered Advocates that you must oblige your professional rules and regulations in order to achieve a successful title in your profession of advocacy. Secondly, don’t let others to make fun of you and allow anyone to hit on your self-respect by failing to oblige professional codes and conduct.
