Many young Advocates working as Junior Advocates after all the years of study in the lawcolleges, practically receive nothing as payment either from his/her senior advocate nor the client of the senior. Many successful seniors employ dozens of juniors with no or meagre payment, under the guise that they are learning and he is giving them an oppurtunity...this is a grave injustice. Seniors get the court cost including the Junior fees and give nothing to the Junior who actually worked the case. Without these junior advocates, many senior advocates today could not have attended more than one case a day...it is the juniors who run to all courts and he receives practically nothing at all. The Junior Advocates need some common organization and need much public support in this issue. Otherwise the lads really good at law will find it difficult to exist. This is the reason for many malpractises in the legal field today.

  above statement is absolutely correct, many junior are suffering with above said problems. really it is very appriciatable idea to have a common organization. as a law student i getting happy by viewing this site. i putting one requeting before you, that is , it is better to remove "junior" system, instead of this better to introduce junior like knowledge to the students.
  please consider to make it true.

  I really sympathize with all juniors, but on second thoughts, why are the juniors still with the seniors despite the hardships and the paltry crumbs thrown at them from time to time? Is somebody forcing and coercing them to stay? This is a democratic and a free country ( at lease I hope so) so what prevents the juniors to break free the self imposed shackles are get away. Why smart under such conditions and still run around.
  
  Juniors stay because they need the paltry money or the experience otherwise they would not stay. Once he thinks he has learnt enough he moves on his own. This is the way of the world. This does not in any way justify the actions of the parsimonious seniors.

  Why can't all the juniors team together and solicit clients?. Start with "Pay-only-if-you-win-the-case" policy. The more cases you win you will get bigger clientele whom you can charge more once your popularity increases.

  The above statement is correct. But there is no need for forming an association of budding lawyers. All the senior lawyers of today had gone through this period and and they have successfully came out and they didnt have any association. Instead of thinking about association the junior lawyers have to work hard and spent more time in their office. Success will come to the deserving juniors.
