Refresher courses won’t apply to lawyers

New Delhi: The Law Commission has ordered deletion of second part of a paragraph in its 230rd report on judicial reforms submitted to the government, viz “…that there should be a mechanism for refresher courses and attendance as a pre-condition for renewal of practising certificates for advocates.”In a clarification submitted to the government , Justice A.R. Lakshmanan, chairman of the Commission said “since our advocates have to enrol with the State Bar Council concerned before starting their practice as is the case with other professions coupled with the fact that there is no provision in the existing statute for renewal of their enrolment, the second part of the para 1.37 would not apply to our advocates”.
