Unethical Legal Notices Reform

Summary

Drafting baseless legal notices without verifying legal merits is a growing issue in India, reflecting a decline in professional ethics. Victims face difficult choices between complying with unreasonable demands or enduring lengthy legal battles. The Bar Council of India has been criticized for inadequate enforcement of ethical standards. Stricter penalties for unethical advocates and alternative dispute resolution methods could help address these issues. Successful activism, such as the Nirbhaya Case and the Anti-Manual Scavenging Act, demonstrates the potential for legal reform. Engaging activists and exploring international regulatory models may offer solutions to restore integrity in the legal profession.
