:( Advocacy is a graceful and noble profession. Many great persons, like Dr, Rajinder Prasad, Nehru, Sardar Patel etc. have been associated with this profession. But in these days attitude of advocates are like laborer union. For their demands they are fighting with police, burning vehicles. work suspend is very common in these days for advocates. I think this attitude is stigma on this profession.
There are quite a few and the number is growing very strong who could be dubbed as cheats and swindlers!!
But because of such swindlers and cheats, all the lawyers have been branded as being liars, even though some of them are genuine and honest. Recently I read an interesting article pertaining to young lawyers who wanted to get married. Young men and women both are now being shunned by the prospective spouse's parents and no one is willing to marry them any more! :blink:
I think that is totally unfair, we see doctors, engineers and lawyers, all of them at times not giving heed to work ethics, so why single out lawyers alone ? I know so many of them who try their level best to do what they can inspite of having to fight many odds within the legal system...
It beats me how the mentality of people works, now even doctors are not preferred much except by fellow doctors and then again, only those who have already an established practice. Engineers, only those who are in IT and those who have opportunities of traveling abroad are being preferred more. So I think instead of compatibility, one;s own capability and eligibility, financial status and a certain lifestyle is a target now for prospective brides and grooms!
