New law to monitor lawyers' conduct with clients.

The bill makes it mandatory for lawyers to provide free services to poorer clients, that is, every lawyer must put in some hours with the court’s legal aid service.

We all Wellcoming Bill.

And thanks for providing this valuable info.

Welcome!

@Roshni B

Thanks and here it is ;

Here is the act download it PDF file format.

Info:https://enactments.blogspot.com/2010/12/legal-practitioners-act-2010.html

Thanks for this info, actually in this field (legal) so many quakes have been entered from obtaining degree anyhow. Also their sole aim used to aim money. Only 10% is having good knowledge of law. The other major factor is that good students rarely opt for law.

Before giving them license they must pass the qualification exams also in each five years their skill and knowledge must be tested.

This field needs necessary and urgent cleansing.

Thank you.

First of all I m really thankfull to Roshni and Kushan for posting such a relevant information on this website. Yes I agreed with objectives and aims of this bill.

The law ministry has proposed a new statute that partly supplant the functions of the Bar Council of India (BCI) with a new super-regulator called the Legal Services Board that will oversee the regulation of legal practice, client service, legal education and make it obligatory for lawyers to provide free legal aid.

The Legal Services Board would be established under a new Act called the Legal Practitioners (Regulations and Maintenance of Standards in Professions, Protecting the Interest of Clients and Promoting the Rule of Law) Act, 2010.

We welcome this act, it will improve relationship between Clients and Attorneys.

The information is of great value, no doubt. However,  it is visibly seen that most  of the layers are struggling to survive and very fewer numbers are well settled. My point here is that, some security in one or the other form is also a need of time to ensure that the lawyers having inadequate practice or who are struggling, be provided with some finacial security to ensure their survival in profession. This to some extent will boost the morals and will attract better brains in this profession.

I have no intention to offend all my friends in this noble profession, but I  feel some where there is a sense of  being over secured by some and also a feeling of total insecurity by the others and both are breeding ground of abuse of this noble profession.

Thank you Roshni, for this information.

I would say that this bill is superfluous, because the lawyers always had the option of self-regulating their profession. They have not done so, because it suits them to allow anarchy prevail.

Also, lawyers should be compelled to issue receipts for all fees they collect.

Unqualified persons should be weeded out and barred from practising this profession.

For the rest, our country has great tolerance for lawlessness.

Very Politely I m informin that V are already in the practice of free legal advise n handling and handled seriously and sincerely the cases  of our poor clients in a very nominal fees i. e Rs. 200=00 to 500=00 or even free of cost with a successful ratio. V r also takin fees reasonably from the clients who can give fees in a lump sum amount without any hesitation.  Some time V r also maintaining the expenses records of each case. So good step if V follow.

Dear Rekha

You are the exception that proves the rule.

What do you live on? Love? Fresh air?

LOL

Thanks to Roshni and all the members for the contributions. High time for Lawyers to get involved in Nation Building Task  and not only standing in The Court. I remember the memorable words of my Teacher N R Madhav Menon now Vice Chancellor of The WB University of Juridical Sciences " 70 to 80 % of lawyers' work lies outside the Court" How true it is I am realizing today. The Bill is welcome.

I think this is well required ... Heartily welcome

A software engineer (US-returned 37-year-old) alleged to have killed rather murdered his wife Anupama brutally/tragically, after that he cut the body into 72 pieces and hid it in a deep freezer and was disposing them off in the nearby forest.

BAR Association of Dehradun has set a good example and has decided that not to take up this case of Rajesh Gulati.

It is a good development as co-operation and participation of bar councils and advocates are necessary to control the wide spread crime and lawlessness. Actually participation from everyone/quarters is necessary to keep the society crime free.

please let me know

1- the trail court has granted injuction in 1989.  Opposite parties appealed in High court.  They have sold properties worth in lakhs.  Contempt can be filed in High court or not.

2- Please let me know whether injunction continues in High court also

3- How to get certified copies from High court for the trail suit of lower court.

4- Any friend is there in Hyderabad who will solve the problem.  Concubine is paying maintenance of Rs.500/- per month for the properties worth in Crores.  Is it reasonable . 

5- opposite parties have altered the court records in the year 1989.  I wrote letters to Supreme court also and High court also under Right to nformation Act, 2005,  They told that this will not come under invormation and it is an advice.  And the same has been denied.
