Abstract
The author writes this piece in the backdrop not just of the turn of the century but also amid the criticism of the declining standards of the legal field. The author argues that the only solution to the problems highlighted is that the Bar Council of India and the Bar Associations concerned must have Monitoring or Liaison Committee, for bringing about quick settlement of the disputes to prevent strikes and lockouts by lawyers. Further, issues affecting litigants such as crushing court fees that are often prohibitive, along with the kafka-esque legal system itself makes it a matter of great courage to even approach the courts. To address this settlement, writ jurisdiction and cooperative legal firms as found in the United States are given by the author as possible solutions. (Editor’s abstract.)
