Do you know why Good lawyers keep paying to clerks even when clerk become aged and invalid-Reasons
When a young lawyer enters profession, his first teacher is an experienced clerk.
He teaches him tricks and ropes of the trade. After getting a client and getting hearing of a case, lot of clerical work is required which needs expertise.
Success of a case often depends on silent work of a lawyer's clerk.
His loyalty to his lawyers builds bungalows of lawyers.
In foreign countries, such clerks are recognised as Para Legals. They do 80% foot work of a lawyer.
He gradually becomes friend, philosopher and guide. In India lawyers' clerks are known as Munshi.
I have seen lawyers who keep paying salaries to their clerk even when clerk has become aged and invalid to work. His mere sitting in office of lawyer brings cases and luck to lawyer.
The point of this article is:
If you happen to engage any lawyer, also check who is his clerk and how old he is. It is this clerk who is going to do 80% foot work of your case. When you pay fees to lawyer, also pay something to his clerk. This will help your case in a great way.
