BCI will only issue formal statement of state of bar exam next Thursday, 25 November

An email from the BCI has confirmed that the bar exam date has been “pushed” and that the body would make a formal statement on 25 November.

The email from the BCI’s official bar exam email address responded to a query by 2010 graduate Siddharth Shekhar Seth and stated:

“The date of the AIBE has currently been pushed. The BCI will issue a press release on November 25, 2010 intimating the full details of the new date etc. Dispatch and processing of applications is continuing through this period.”

BCI member are scheduled to hold a meeting this weekend in Chennai, expectedly without chairman Gopal Subramanium present, to discuss how to proceed.

One source close to the BCI told Legally India yesterday (17 November) that a release might be released then. This plan now appears to have been postponed until after the meeting.

The deadline for bar exam applications was earlier postponed to 15 November and has not been extended, although the original exam date of 5 December is most likely to now be moved to 6 March 2011.

I can't believe a BCI mandarin would use 'pushed' in place of 'postponed'. Sounds more like lawschool-speak to me.

Finally, its time to show BCI the skills of advocates who have enrolled themselves this year. I am already drafting a petition, and will finalize it as soon as official news is out. Let's file petitions against BCI, and every advocate should file it to prove how skilled and legally competent we are, unlike legally unsound ppl like [...]...TIme for mass litigations, and ya, I am filing a separate suit against RM as well, questioning as to why did it combine with BCI in an illegal manner. Lets make sure the exam is held void by courts and criminal proceedings begin against RM for cheating, fraud etc.

Is the Bar Exam made compulsory to promote Rainmaker's Business? Stop making mockery of education. Those is positions of power, please use your logic, brains and sensitivity while taking decisions

Dear Editor,
Why my comment is not displayed. I appreciate your assistance to the young lawyers, giving the updated information. Thanks for your help. Please display my comments on the site so that other students also will know how BCI is playing with young lawyers career, once state bar councils accepted our degree and enrolled us as advocate. Then why all these games.

Thanks

[I am not sure which comment you are referring to, I think all comments that appeared to be from you are live. -Ed]

I appeal to Chief Justice of India to look into the matter of writ petitions challenging, Bar Exam, on prority basis as not doing so will lead to aggravation of sufferings of fresh law graduates who are finding it hard to meet the day to day requirements. Bar Council is hell bent to cause harassment to fresh graduates. if bar council was not sure about the standard of education in law institutions/colleges then why did it recognize them? counducting bar exam is like cashing in on one's own failures.
Chief Justice should look into matter on urgent basis because delayed justice is justice denied.

I think along with chief justice of India we all should also write to law Minister of India along with Smt. Sonia Gandhi to step in to rescue fresh law graduates from this injustice caused to them by Bar Council of India.
It is being alleged that Sh Gopal Subramanium is choise of Law Minister of India. So he should make Gopal understand the dilema of fresh law graduates.

its very much clear that they r nt goin to take examination on 5th dec... i firmly believe that if they do not decide anything on 25th den all of us should start appearing before courts on monday onwards as it has been mentiond in press release too.... i think meeting to authorities wont bring any conclusion or wont amount to any immediate action... the best way to protest is to appear before the court.... involve as many law graduates as we can... spread the initiatives which we r goin to take and most imp..involve d media...local n national too.... let me knw what u guys r planning to do...thanks...

i feel like a fool having taken to aibe studies so seriously and now BCI decides not to take exams having realised their own unorganised status so late. instead of concentrating on conducting the aibe exam, BCI went on to concentrate on those students who did not enroll for the exam. they foolishly decided to extend the exam date thereby went on to make a complete mockery of the so called aibe.

now i am helpless at the hands of BCI. having applied for this aibe:

1) i cannot suspend my sanad which otherwise i could if i got offer in any other fraternity as i have a valid 2 decades exp in other field.

2) if i decide to work for a senior, they refuse to entertain me as they find me useless if i cannot appear in the court.

a humble request to BCI...........please do not play with the career of our country's professional adults. you are in fact misusing your powers by hijacking our batch of 2009-10 graduates for whatever best reasons you alone know.

when airplane (say 500 people), bus (say 60 people) , cruise (pirates takes over) gets hijacked it becomes a BIG news in all every newspapers and every effort is made to release them. here 80,000 law graduates are openly hijacked at the hands of the unorganised BCI and we don't see it as news :sad:(

SURAT: About 150 budding lawyers have submitted a memorandum to the Bar Council of India (BCI) to postpone the first all-India bar examination until next year and allow LLB pass outs to start their legal practice in their respective courts on Wednesday.

This exam is against the law and also against the laws of natural justice as the same is being conducted in retrospective effect.The decision of a student to opt law as a profession may vary on the ground that he /she will have to undergo another exam after passing out his law from the respective college.Imposing an exam upon the students who are in the mid of their studies is not justified on any grounds.The exams should be called off immediately.

The examination should be called off as students were unaware of it when they joined the Law Course.
