It must have been mentioned in the enrollment letter about your eligibilty to represent and plead in the Court. Also you wil have to obtain Original Side Registriation Number from the Calcutta High Court. You can become member of Bar Association by submitting application form along with necessary membership fees.

welcome to profession.

u may take license from any of the Bar councils as constituted in India....and this license entitles to u plead cases before any court in India.

Bar Association membership is not mandatory, but it is advised that it should be taken....a lot of benefits come out of it...better observe it urself.

best of luck :-)

Registering in a Bar association is not a mandatory thing.

You can practice any where in India.. No need to ask permission from others..

Good Luck
