The Calcutta Law Journal Short Notes of Cases Articles and other Matters September 1st 1932

The result of this state of things is a narrowing down of the outlook a failure on the part of members of the bar to apprpriate the wider duties and responsibilities of the profession and inability to adopt adequate measures to efficiently discharge the collective responsibilities of the profession. [...] Where the costs of litigation are excessive it becomes an expensive luxury beyond the means of a majority of the people and the utility of the Courts of justice is to that extent dimnished. [...] Apart from acting as hindrance to the ultimate unification of the Bar this state of isolation deprives the local bars of the advatages to be derived from the exchange of information current thoughts ideas and experience of the profession. [...] Having regard to the importance of the !subject it is proposed to have a Committee consisting of representatives of each of the principal Bar Associations in India to consider the matter in all its aspects and if thought fit to take steps to bring the Association into existence thereby beginning a new and useful chapter in the history of the legal profession in India. [...] It is often said that the history of a country is the history of its great men and the truth of this saying is nowhere so much appreciated as in the case of the historical study of the evolution of the law of this country.
