Lawyers to advertise services on the Internet
{image-Bar Council of India_30072008.jpg news.oneindia.in}
The BCI's latest turnaround marks a significant departure from its earlier stand under which it took a stance that the legal profession was not a trade and, hence, advocates could not be permitted to advertise about their services. For this purpose it has amended Rule 36, Section IV of the BCI which earlier prohibited the legal fraternity from advertising their services. Under the amended rule, advocates can mention in their chosen websites, their names, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses, professional qualification and areas of specialisation.
The BCI, however, submitted that such advertisements can be issued only within the parameters fixed by it under the amended regulations, and any breach of the same would invite disciplinary action. The regulatory body had earlier taken the view that unlike western countries where lawyers were permitted to advertise their services, the same cannot be permitted in India as it "cherished different ethos, social values and ethical norms."
