Unethical behaviuor.

A case of mine had gone through district, state consumer forums and a magistrate court. The respondent engaged different lawyers in each court. The respondent had filed his version as counseled by them. But each statement contradicted the other amounting to perjury. Can the lawyers who gave counseling be taken for unethical behavior before bar association where they are enrolled?

Service in Law firm or working under Lawyer what will be better?

Request the learned Experts to kindly guide me.
I worked as a Regional Manager of a very reputed PSU being posted all over India. In one such posting out of my home town I had passed LLB exam in the year 1994. I have just retired at the age of 58 years & wanted to practice Law. My qualification is B.Sc., MBA & LLB. I had contacted many Lawyers few of whom agreed to accept me to work with them as junior. Because of my long experience & MBA degree I am not bad in drafting legal papers which I did as part of my job while working. Suddenly I got an offer & joined a (very ill managed for proprietors own personal problem for which they lost lot of business & are now trying to revive) Solicitor Firm as Associate General Manager at a monthly remuneration of Rs.15K. I am not after money. I want to learn & start practicing as early as possible. Job wise I am very busy now. I am drafting plaints for money suits, legal searches, sale Deeds etc all by myself. The clients are ringing me often requesting to finidh their jobs early (mainly real estate firms). I am selecting advocates for filing suits for our clients. The owner assured me that I can plead for the firm/clients as soon as I get my registration which is expected any day. My question is
(1) What will be beneficial for me. Joining a practicing lawyer as his unpaid or ill paid junior or my present job?
(2) My designation has been given as Associate general Manager. Shall I be able to practice even being employed with the solicitor Firm? There is no appointment letter. Salary paid is in cash without any receipt taken from me.
(3) Any other view/observation the experts may have.
Kindly guide me sirs

Should Judiciary be Outsourced?

Pendency of Court cases is on the rise as lakhs of litigations are lying for decades together. This is solely attributed to the fact that the quality of Advocacy to handle the complexities involved in the Indian Laws. Ultimately Justice gets delayed and thereby denied. In this modern era every profession or business or even services resort to Advertisement. However due to unnecessary restrictions imposed on legal profession the legal intelligentsia gets depleted as many brilliant law students prefer or take up jobs taking up Law Practice or Advocacy. In fact, to tackle pendency Government should not hesitate to even outsource the functions of judiciary or Judicial Administration System. Statistics speak very badly that only 23% of law graduates take up the profession which is the lowest globally whereas in any developed country 98% of them are engaged in Law Practice. I feel there is an inherent bug emanated from the Britishers which needs to be fixed and add respect and values to make Advocate Profession attractive to any youngster to take up as a career. Experts to share their honest opinion on this subject and suggest methods to speed up the judicial process to facilitate Justice reach the common man.
