Bar Council of India

In this section, we will give light to an apex organization, Bar Council of India, which is the regulatory authority of legal education and legal practice in India. A statutory body established under the section 4 of Advocates Act 1961, it is one of the pillars of legal practice in India. Its headquarter is in New Delhi. It primarily specifies standards of professional conduct and etiquettes. Apart from this it also sets out standards for legal education and grants recognition to the law universities.


So next comes, when this council came into the picture in India?
Earlier the purposes were being served by ‘All India Bar Committee’. In 1953 this committee headed by S.R. Das submitted a report proposing the creation of a bar council. Separately for states and for the country, Bar council was established. Hence an apex organization, Bar Council of India and bar council for each state was formatted. M.C. Setalvad and C.K. Daughtry was the first chairman and vice-chairman of the council. It was suggested that this council will regulate the legal education and legal profession in India.
It was directed in the Advocates Act that the members of Bar Council of India would be selected by each state’s bar council. These members serve a period of five years in apex Bar Council. The Attorney general is the ex officio member. The chairman of the council is selected by the members amongst themselves. He/She acts as a chief executive and director of the organization. The present chairman of this organization is Manan Kumar Mishra.
There are some inherent committees also set up in this council. These committees are the helping hand for the action of chairman of the council. Categorization of these committees can be done as follows:
1.     Executive committee: Primary role of this committee is to manage funds, audit, library, allotment of work and taking care of the affairs of the staff.
2.     Legal Education Committee: This was set up to manage the standards which should be implemented for the legal education in the country.
3.     Disciplinary committee: Manage complaints regarding professional misconduct of advocates.
4.     Advocate welfare committee: Take care of the welfare of advocates regarding funds etc.
5.     Legal aid committee: This provides aids to those requiring legal assistance.
6.     Building committee: Responsible for setting up offices for the council.
7.     Rules committee: It takes care of rules and regulation of the council.

These committees are the basic pillars of Bar Council of India. Members of this committees are being chosen by the members of apex council itself.
It was a glimpse of The Bar Council of India, which is responsible for the reforms of legal education in India.

After Delhi University declared a change in the pattern just a week before the exam, many aspirants lost their cool and wasted the most precious days in unnecessary speculation. A lot more stress was added by an article claiming that polity and constitution portion has been done away with.
