when the exam is not conducted in 2010 how can to hold back 2010 pass-out from practicing law and earning livelihood.

Agree with #1 BCI should cancell the exam in too-too and avoid legal actions by thousands of students. The exam is totally illegal, inconsistant with the Act and can be challenged. Hope better sense prevails.

no doubt the bar exam is good-step to the law students but the proposed exam should be conducted as early as possible to avoid the problems of law students

To

The Chairman BCI

Dear Sir,

With all due Regards,

If BCI is of the opinion that the all the students are not upto the standard desired, and the degrees they are getting are not upto the mark then following steps must be taken to maintain the standard in legal professional services as :

1. Keep regular watch on the syllabus of Universities and the standard must be maintained at college level also.

2. To arrange for studies for the Law Graduates to upgrade for the standards as BCI thinks Fit, for the older Batches of students also .

3. To arrange to amend the ACT accordingly first.

4. After taking the above steps the decision of the BCI for conducting the TEST is highly appreciable and acceptable to all. Without Taking the above steps first, it clearly reflects that that BCI have no concern to the carriers of the students and the decision of conducting the Test is merely for collecting the funds from the students and also a foul play with the decision of the Hon'able Supreme Court of India with the Intention to Improve the standards in the Legal Profession.

Such a irresponsible behavior is not expected from the side of so much higher authority like BCI.

Work accordingly irrespective of the commencement Batch. We all are with you irrespective of conditional practice Certificate. What the BCI want for Improvement Kindly arrange to amend the act accordingly. We all are always with you.

Thanks & Regards

I firmly believe that before entering into the law profession none of the graduating students ever had an idea of an "Exam before practicing". The revolution is a major change in the legal education, but I believe that instead of changing the present batch's condition the BCI should have incorporated the change from the batch which starts its legal education this year. What has happened at present is that; coming on the verge of the degree completion the students get a direction that there will be an "Exam before practicing". All I want to say is that the BAR EXAM is an excellent change but it is not been incorporated in the desired way. It should start from the batch which enrolls for studying law this year and should not be thrown to the final years and delay their own personal ventures.

It should not be done to our batch as BCI Should clear us at the time of beginning of the course than it may be the chance we can move to other course because we took loan from bank and since passing of the exam we are unemployed and still unemployed till march 2011 i.e. almost 1 year after result. My interest has started compounding. what i do. It is a Democratic country. nobody has a right to restrict us from employment and Govt. has to ban BCI because anarchy is prevailing.

Dear Friends,
How long this uncertainty will continue, why don't u (BCI) start the exam from fresh batch i.e. from this year. The BCI is making problem for the new entrants (advocates) who already obtained the Bar Council membership. Better cancel the exam for ever, let us live peacefully and continue our practice. If we have guts we will show our talent in the Hon'ble Courts but, not with this type of exams.

Kudos to #1,2,4,5,6,7 rightly said keep it up. This has been said time and again hope better sense prevails in the authoriries at least now or else..................

i just think there is one solution....CANCEL THE EXAM....NO OTHER....

BCI should cancell the exam in too-too and avoid legal actions by thousands of students. The exam is totally illegal, inconsistant with the Act and can be challenged. Hope better sense prevails.

Sure, the exam is a big reform, but someone needs to compensate the current batch for denying their right to livelihood & that too, for such a long period, isn't it? All legal views invited on this. (of course, they should relate to Constitution and/or Contract Act and/or any other law)

BCI should carry on with their actions with proper plan. If the students were told about the exam when they are in First year of LLB course, perhaps the acceptance level would be different. Now every BCI member must have had a undercut from rainmaker. that is why they are very particular about the exam.

What is the rationale of keeping 1300 Rs as exam fee. which is ridiculous. So let us boycott the exam. when we received the Bar coucil enrollment card and certificate, nothing is explicitly mentioned that we can practise only after this test. What is the legal sanctitiy of this test to those who are already bar council memebers.

So let us focus on our practise and boycott this exam.

BCI have ruined our whole one yr. I think there should be only 5 yr law course, not 3 yr. Now we have to study only 3 subjects per term in first 2 yrs. By Reorganizing 5 sub per term i e 10 sub per yr, we can study whole 40 sub in 4 yrs. Then in the last yr, we will prepare the 20 sub which r for AIBE. During last yr law colleges can only guide students for prep of aibe. At end of yr bci can conduct exam.

#13 - There's more to life than passing the AIBE. To want to spend one year preparing for an exam which you should be able to waltz through if you have undergone the rigours of any well run course speaks volumes for the standards of legal education. In effect you are saying that you need guided cramming on the handout prepared by Rainmaker or whoever in order to pass what is essentially a very basic exercise in common sense. What are (or were) you doing in Law School.

In most countries, law is treated as a post graduate course. Aspiring law students do a three (or four) year undergraduate course, obtain a degree and then study law. In India, by having an integrated 5yr BA LLb course, one year is shaved off the total education i.e. 10+2+5 rather than 10+2+3+3. It doesn't make the course any better. Any suggestion to eliminate the 3 yr post graduate degree course would retrict the profession of law to arts students and keep graduates of other disciplines - science, commerce, engineering, (dare I say it) medicine away. This would be a retrogade step and the profession would be the loser.

I also think suggestions to impose an age limit are also uwarranted. Why shouldn't someone who has chosen to work after getting a degree be allowed to further his education? I was involved in a maritime law case in the US. All the lawyers (on both sides) and there were several had worked on ships - one was a retired USCG Captain - and had practical experience. They did'nt any assistance from technical advisers to understand what the witnesses were deposing.

why Bar council is playing with our carrer,either they should hold the the exams on 5 dec or should conduct it with a proper planning for 2011 passout graduates or postpond it forever.

July 2011 passouts can enroll with state bars before AIBE Exam. If not when will exam be conducted and its procedure??
