Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Law - Miscellaneous, Indian School of Business Management & Administration, course: Law, language: English, abstract: Rule 36 of the Bar Council Of India Rules from 1975 states that “[a]n Advocate shall not solicit work or advertise, either directly or indirectly [...]. His sign-board or name plate should be of a reasonable size.”. And Under Section 1 Rule 7 of PART VI, CHAPTER II of Bar Council Of India Rules, 1975 i.e. DUTY TO THE COURT says that “An Advocate shall not wear bands or gown in public places other than in Courts except on such ceremonial occasions and at such places as the Bar Council of India or the Court may prescribe”. But in practice it is found that most advocates wear their uniform even outside the court premises, which is a violation of the rule. Now my question is whether this is a kind of advertisement done by the Advocates. Through my research paper, I will try to figure out some of the ways which advocates are using for advertisement, and also if it is in violation of the law.
