I find very few Supreme Court Advocates on blogs and twitter.
Some of them do have professionally designed website. But here the aim is to build up a professional image for professional purpose. They tweet also.
But very few use blogs and tweets to express against the weaknesses of Judicial System and Plight of litigants.
I am doing this since one month, but I do feel insecure.
Because I would not like to do anything which is against the conservative views of Judicial System.
WHAT ARE THESE CONSERVATIVE VIEWS
They are as under, as per my view.
1) We judiciary and Bar, represent a disciplined class. We have certain disciplines to observe.
2) People respect our words. We should not say anything in social forums which may decrease people's respect towards us.
I AGREE.
There are many such taboos which put hesitations in minds of good advocates to write blogs and tweets.
BUT HOW CAN WE HIDE THESE FROM PUBLIC ?
1) Landlords do not like to give their house on rent to lawyers.
2) When people enter in District Courts, they do not find seats to sit.
3) Many of these litigants feel that while they are waiting for turns of their case in courts, they feel as if they are being treated likes those black slaves of South Africa, as portrayed by Gandhiji in his autobiography.
3) Day by day, respect of people towards courts and lawyers in India, is decreasing due to unmanageable arrears of pending cases and because of many other misunderstanding about the system.
To clear these misconceptions of people, shouldn't some advocates come forward to write on blogs and to tweet on twitter?
Please give me you views.
I do not want to look like an odd lawyer, going against the acceptable norms of colleagues.
