THE BOMBAY INCORPORATED LAW SOCIETY
Closely linked to the Bombay Bar Association is the Bombay Incorporated Law Society. This is an association—again, not statutory, but like a guild—of advocates who, while on the rolls of the Bar Council (they would have to be, didn’t you get it?), choose to practice as Solicitors or Attorneys. This ‘dual system’ is really a legacy from the British period, and not one that has any sanctity in law any longer (see box).
The Bombay Incorporated Law Society continues to conduct an examination for those who want to qualify as solicitors. The examination is very difficult. No one can style himself as a solicitor unless he has passed this examination and been admitted to the Law Society as a solicitor.
