History of Legal Profession in India

The Legal Profession is an important limb of the machinery for administration of justice. Without a well-organized profession of law, the courts would not be in a position to administer justice effectively as the evidence in favour or against the parties to a suit cannot be properly marshaled, facts cannot be properly articulated and the best legal arguments in support or against the case of the parties cannot be put forth before the court. “A well-organized system of judicial administration postulates a properly equipped and efficient Bar.” It is, therefore, in the fitness of things to take note briefly of the development of the legal profession in India.
