LR- 41 Rains of Lots of Money, Money, Money for Lawyers in 2017...?

Rumours say that in 2017, Lawyers will files suits for damages with every criminal case they file.. They will make accused liable to pay in civil court under law of Tort even if he is acquitted in Criminal Courts .....And Lawyers will reap huge Fees as Money Fruits !

Rumours also say that in 2017, Lawyers will file suit for damages with every case they file in labour court. So that even if the labourer does not get job, he and his lawyer may get money in civil court under law of Tort.

Rumours also say that since 2008 Justice Markandey Katju  (Union of India Vs. Prabhakaran) has laid that even Govt bodies can be sued for damages for wrongs done by it to citizens, so in 2017,  Lawyers will advice clients to file suit for damages against Govt instead of Art 226 Writ. Or they may advise to file both.

Whenever a citizen has any grivence against any Govt dept, Lawyers may advice Sec.80CPC Money, Money, Money Notice and then suit for damage under law of Tort.

Rumours also say that in 2017, Lawyers will also learn to start speaking language of money in all types of cases wherever Law of Tort can be made applicable side by side with other laws.

Of course, these are just rumours. They may not turn out to be true. Many Lawyers have yet read and buy a book of law of torts.😎

By the way, in any event, Wish You A Happy And Prosperous 2017 New Year to you and your family. 🌼😂

LR-40 Tips for young advocates : Murders of advocates in early years.

Murders of advocates in early years.

A) An Advocate was found dead in his bed.Accrding to police he was depressed and he had consumed poison.

Story in Bar rooms was different. The Advocate was taking cases of only "Wife fighting against Husbands."

Advocate was young. Sometimes he used to flirt with his beautiful clients. One husband got angry and gave "Supari" to kill him. Police took a False FIR from that husband. No one could save him.

2) A public prosecutor was prosecuting terrorists. He asked for armed police protection. It was given.

And yet he was killed  in Court premises in presence of his guards.

Since no lawyer was ready to defend the killers, the case was transferred to other State. His brother told me that no one tried to ensure conviction of those accused.

C) A PIL lawyer used to file PILs against companies. He was found dead in his office. Another PIL Activist was run over by speeding car.

John Grisham, famous for his novels on legal profession, once wrote, "Every lawyer once in his life time steers away from main road. If he can find his way back to road, it is God' Grace."

Law reform is needed for protection and compensation to Lawyers who die due to occupational hazards They must be provided security at top priority level.

S-70 Tips for Young Advocates: Supreme Court is truly like Bollywood but do not end up here like an extra actor

Supreme Court is truly like Bollywood but do not end up here like an extra actor in a dull movie.

This post is for career oriented young advocates who may be dreaming to start at the top.

You may have talents. But to be successful in Supreme Court, you must have also a sound referral base.

Talents alone is not enough here.

In fact, talent is in abundance here because talented young advocates from all over India come here with big dreams to shine out nation wide in one single case.

It doesn't happen. At least I have not seen it happening,

In 25 years practice in Supreme Court, I have seen many talented young advocates who had come here with big dreams, and then I have also seen them becoming disillusioned in three years.

After four years, they are usually  not seen.

Probably, they must be going back to practice in High Court.

Try to understand this point.

Here, way of arguing is different. You need to have a lot of experience in order to understand Art.136 Jurisdiction.

Whereas, Trial Court and High Courts are places where you can develop mastery of marshalling evidences and developing high pitched voices and oratory. The outcomes of cases are more predictable here. The rewards for success are more sure here.

Think Twice.

If you are a young advocate, dreaming to be a star advocate in Supreme Court, I think it is in order to think about it twice.
