In 1982 when I joined a District Court Bar, there were two Bar Associations.
It appeared to me that office bearers of both these Bar Associations were pursuing their own interests and none was interested in problems of juniors.
I met two to three other junior members of Bar. We formed a Junior Advocates Forum (A platform to express problems of Junior Members of Bar). Letterheads were printed.
Then we wrote letters to High Court about issues that bothered junior members of Bar.
Letters were addressed jointly to 1) Chief Justice of HC and 2) Adminstrative Judge of HC.
Soon follow up actions were noticed and grievence were redressed by District Judge.
In 1986, I shifted from District Court to High Court and thereafter this Forum stopped.
---
Whenever we wrote these letters, we made sure that letters were very polite and gentle, there were no allegations against anyone.
We just expressed our problems and then left it to wisdom of High Court judges as to how to slove our problems.
We knew that they had vast resources to help us.
