Supreme Court Directs Fund for Young Lawyers and Improved Facilities for Women Advocates
The Supreme Court has directed the creation of a Young Lawyers' Professional Assistance Fund in every state and Union Territory to address financial hardships faced by junior advocates, particularly first-generation and economically disadvantaged lawyers. The court warned this economic strain risks a 'brain drain' as many promising lawyers leave the profession early. Additionally, the court emphasized the need for improved infrastructure, including adequately equipped Ladies' Bar Rooms, to support women lawyers' safety, comfort, and professional participation across courts nationwide.
