law graduates urges bar council of India to allow them to practice in various
courts and also postpone the examination date of BCI which is scheduled on
12-12-2010.

SURAT(Gujrat) : About 150 budding lawyers have submitted a memorandum to the Bar
Council of India (BCI) to postpone the first all-India bar examination until
next year and allow LLB pass outs to start their legal practice in their
respective courts on Wednesday.
Student leaders said about 1,200 were supposed to appear in the all-India bar
examination on December 12-2010. But due to some reasons the examination has
been postponed by three months. However, the LLB students cannot practice in
courts without appearing in the exam, which is intended to test an advocate's
ability to practice the profession of law in India.
The LLB pass outs said that they have got the enrollment number from the Bar
Council of Gujarat (BCG). But the all-India bar examination will give them the
licence to practice in the courts.
Sources reveal that around 1200 LLB students likely to appear in the all-India
bar examination and over 50% of the lawyers appearing in the exams are from the
state of gujrat
