VOYAGE OF THE LIMITED LIABILITY PARTNERSHIP AND ITS IMPACT ON LEGAL PROFESSION IN INDIA

Abstract

In India, apart from the judges one of the most vital apparatuses of the justice delivery system is its human resource component, namely advocates. No matter what they charged for their services, it is equally true that charging fees is still neither the purpose of advocacy nor the criteria for their successes in the courtroom. Their role is marvelous as they live for others and in a suit of law, they act as a bridge between the aggrieved parties and the administration of justice itself. They are the torch bearer of the society and play an important role in shaping the humanity. On the other hand, this fact may also not be ignored that in recent times due to money money-oriented elements in the advocacy, this institution is changing its path and there will be no hesitation to say that, it is now converting itself into the bread-butter supply industry. Undoubtedly, using the business vehicle in the advocacy will have certain benefits even to the clients but questions always arise about the true spirit of the advocacy.
