Should a stipend scheme be introduced for junior lawyers? Because surviving for
the first few years in the legal profession is much difficult than in any other profession.I am of
the view that atleast up to three years they should be supported.Stipend is a must as most of the
juniors are used for only getting of adjournments in the beginning till they learn the profession.
So it is better to pay them and find out their talent in the years of practice and then the seniors
can decide later whether to retain them or not.Cost of living is skyrocketing. Pattern of living
changing. It is hard to spent years as juniors .. It is high time to think about introducing some
sort of monetary support to the bidding lawyers, otherwise India will find difficulty to get
services of good brain in the field of law. What to do ? Who will think about these matters.?
Even lawyers turned politicians are in the forefront of accusing lawyers and judiciary. Unlike
other professions, in Legal world the juniors are exposed to the most deoplorable conditions
especially those in remote parts of the Country. I am of the view that after completion of the Bar
exam they should be supported by the State at least up to three years to enable them to
concetrate in their practise and other practical matters.
stipend is not a slove the problem of first few year as an advocate, as it
decrease the dignity of the legal profession, junior advocate should get some brief , salary
form the senior advocate under whom they work or government should introduce some benifit
scheme to the development of the junior advocate they can help the court in different way for
which they can be paid at least 5 to 8 year most be given to them by which they can get
knowledge of court work and get benifited.
