Governor deliveres lecture in Summer Law Programme
Shimla, Jun 1 (UNI) Himachal Pradesh Governor V S Kokje today delivered a lecture on 'India's Legal Profession and Judicial Process in comparative Perspective' to the particpants of 13th Annual Summer Law Programme here.
The Summer Law Programme has been authorised by the Accreditation Committee of American Bar Association, Section of Legal Education.
The participants of the programme are drawn from all the Law Universities of United States of America and India.
Mr Kokje interacted with the students and faculty members and discussed various aspects of the India's legal profession and judicial process in comparative perspective.
"The profession of law has been a very important vocation in India. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries it was the main profession adopted by a majority of educated Indians. It was, therefore, natural that most of the leaders of India's freedom movement belonged to the profession of law and lawyers were also in the forefront of social reform in India," he said.

said
that
"The
main
problem
being
faced
by
the
Indian
Judicial
system
today
is
the
explosion
of
number
of
cases
pending
before
various
courts.
Because
of
growing
population,
spread
of
awareness
of
rights
and
in
the
absence
of
alternate
dispute
resolution
bodies
the
litigation
has
gone
up." UNI
