Scope, Applicability and Intent of Advocate and legal profession under the Advocates Act, 1961.
The legal profession plays a pivotal role in upholding justice, defending the rights of individuals and ensuring the proper functioning of a democratic society.
In India, advocates, often referred to as lawyers or attorneys, are individuals who represent clients in various legal matters, from civil disputes to criminal cases. To become an advocate in India, one must undergo the process of admission and enrolment, governed by the Advocates Act, 1961 and the rules set forth by the Bar Council of India and State Bar Councils.
The admission and enrolment of advocates in India are primarily governed by the Advocates Act of 1961. This legislation sets out the rules and regulations that govern the legal profession in India and establishes the framework for becoming a practising advocate. Under the Advocates Act, the Bar Council of India (BCI) and the State Bar Councils are responsible for overseeing the admission and enrolment of advocates.
The BCI is the apex regulatory body for the legal profession in India and lays down the standards for legal education and professional conduct. Each state in India has its own State Bar Council, responsible for enrolling advocates within its jurisdiction. The admission and enrolment of advocates in India are regulated by the Advocates Act of 1961, specifically Sections 16 to 28.
Every State Bar Council is mandated by Section 17 of the Advocates Act to maintain a roll of advocates. Section 22 of the Advocates Act requires the State Bar Council to provide a certificate of enrolment in the prescribed format to any individual whose name is included in the roll of advocates maintained by that council.
