P amp H High Court Petition against Bar exam CJ recuses State Bar Council Chairman resigns

Pratap, Is your fight against bar exam or rainmaker conducting bar exam? I can understand the latter, but former should not be an issue unless you want low quality people entering legal profession. it is in our long term interest to have bar exams. All countries with bar exams have only benefited from bar exams. Choose your battles properly before being influenced by the mob mentality.

It is quite saddening that such a poor response is there from so many people with respect to the Bar Exam which clearly is a much required necessity considering how people have been acquiring law degrees from colleges all over India.If 5 year law graduates complain, they should know that various other students become advocates every year from 5 year and 3 year law colleges without attending classes or reading a single word and become the so called professionals providing poor advice and reducing the faith of the common man in the system. Lawyers truly are hated for a reason. Moreover, I see many anti social elements entering the profession because its is so ludircously easy to crack the system. Clearly it is practically difficult to deal with the University system especially after privatisation of the same. The bar exam is a much needed solution and will definitely benefit in the long run. Please also realise most common law countries provide for a bar exam after studying law and a law graduate does not equal to a practising lawyer.

The NLS grad who is the examiner is also a Harvard law School Graduate. So please know your facts before accusing anyone of elitism and favouritism.

All india Bar ExaminationBci exam is not going to improve the quality of lawyers in India if Bar council of india is serious enough to conduct the All india Bar Exam he should tabled the Bill First.The decision of the Bar Examination is directly the Challenge to the Quality of Education by the Universities

it really takes me a back to know that academic excellence ( exam which is very mucha academic stuff rather tha any praticle training)will now be the parameter of judging who shall be granted permission to practice and who not. It seems that some people seems to be in fabour of it... but any experianced lawyer will be vouch under hand that practice and academincs does'nt go together. Those persons are not to be blamed for supporting this motion.... as they lack this special knowledge.

It is very good to conduct AIBE to the law graduates to improve quality in legal profession. It is the duty of the BCI to educate the law studens about the AIBE exam. In this case the 2009-10 batch studens who went to attend the final semister exam informed about the AIBE exam by the BCI. Due to which all the students of this year felt in ambiguity and they does't know about the pattern of exam and they has not mentally prepared for this, as such the BCI should exempt this year students from attending exam.

It's rediculous BCI is imposing examination before legal practice for Law Graduate. It has no valid reason or practical purpose for conducting this examination after passing of final year law. I vouch that some compulsory paper of practical approach akin to practice should be introduced in final year of law beside Cr.P.C/C.P.C and Indian Evidence Act. It is therefore justified for filing a writ petition against this decision .Cell : 09821185470

I dont kn how many years of experiance is Mr. Abhijit having in this legal field...if he is atall in this field.... But Mr. Abhijit plz try to understand a exam will not change the quality...if it would have done than many exams we have cleared to get this LLB degree......wont that be enough.....and do u think by executing the exam from 2010 batch will fetch any result...if real steps are to be taken .... gv it retrospective effect

we are also fighting against all india bar exam please contact us at 09610427035

Today 22/09/2010 is the day the case is to be decided in the SC. If unfortunately SC decides the case in favour of BCI, then other statutory bodies "Institute of Chartered Accountants", "Medical council of India" "Institute of Chartered Engineers" etc. shall come forward to make rule to conduct such exams before issuing certificate of enrollment to MBBS Doctors, Charteraed Accountants and Engineers. " Hon'able Judges Please please plesae think of it before deciding the case

Great to see Nalsar guys take on the bar exam farce run by NLS alumni. I hear that the Rainmaker has only NLS guys in it, I hear one more NLS grad has been appointed as some examiner. BCI, please hear the grievances of all people and dont listen to only a bunch of elite people. We are ok with the bar exams being conducted. BUt the manner in which this was done is appalling. If Bar Councils had to introduce bar exam, then why was it not discussed at relevant forums and why only a select few have a say in everything.

if the BCI is serious enough for Bar Exam, it should urge the government to table a Bill in coming Monsoon session incorporating appropriate amendments in the Advocates’ Act in this regard. Until Bar Exam is held, fresh law graduates may be asked to undergo pre-enrolment apprenticeship, the provision for which should also be made in the Bill. The aforesaid amendment legislation must be passed well before the December this year when the exam is scheduled to be held. A draft of such amendment Bill has already been proposed by Law Commission in its 184th report on Legal Education (2002). Anything less than an amendment could result in SC striking off the concept of Bar exam as was evident in case of BCI prescribing maximum age for enrolment of advocate license as 45 years (1995). Hope the new BCI chief, Gopal Subramaniam, as well as Union Law Minister, M Verappa Moily, both of whom themselves seasoned legal practitioners, would ensure taming all possible legal hiccups before launching their agenda of legal reforms.

Bci exam is not going to improve the quality of lawyers in any way. I am in 5yrs course from last 5yrs we are giving exams, studied all the subjects in detail and given the exams now again we have to give again all the papers in the form of this BCI exam. There should be improvement in the teachers of law colleges.
