The Calcutta Weekly Notes January 24 1949

2 11 waves about how appointments to the Bench should be made if in other words the Executive ceases to interfere even rmotely in the work of the judiciary and the Chief Justice and his brother-judges are given unfettered powers of appointment we shall have we are sure the best avaiable men on the Bench. [...] The writer in that esteemed journal is very eloquent on his advocacy for the support of the Bill to abolish the present system of the legal profession now prevailing in the Original Side of the High Court. [...] II at page 468 while speaking of the dual system in England informs us that " As in most European countries the practice of law is divided into two branches that of Barristers and that of solicitors and Attorneys." In Canada and Australia there are dual systems and I would request the writer or the article to refer to the reported cases of the two great Dominions. [...] The late Lord Coleridge Chief Justice ef the Court of Appeal expressed the opnion that the separation of the two branches cf the profession was better for the devlopment of law while the American habit et combining them was probably better for the client. [...] No doubt they were engaged by Cieir clients but the preliminaries of the cases were always done by the pleaders of the lower Courts and the Advocates practising in the Appellate Side of the High Court always got great help from the prelminary works done by the lower Court pleaders.
