Question:

In 2008, the Bar Council of India framed a rule stipulating that an advocate is prohibited from advertising or soliciting his work either directly or indirectly, through circulars, advertisements, interviews, touts, and personal communications. The idea of the prohibition of advertising practices in the legal profession has been taken from the law in the UK, where the legal profession is considered noble, and it is believed
that its commercialization will cause dishonor to the profession and will lead to unfair practices.
Based on the information above, which conclusion necessarily follows ?
I. The Bar Council of India has copied the law in the UK without applying its own mind as to whether such a restriction on advertising would be conducive in the Indian context.
II. Lawyers in India are not allowed to commend themselves to persons looking for legal assistance.
Choose the most appropriate answer.

  • Only I follows
  • Only II follows
  • Both I and II follow
  • Neither I nor II follows
