ABSTRACT
The problem of overcrowding of the Legal Profession must be separated from the problems of legal education. It would be indefensible both from the stand-point of education and also from the stand-point of social justice to frame a scheme of Legal Education on a basis which would make legal profession the preserve of the few. The Legal Profession in the Presidency of Bombay consists of diverse elements. The University of Bombay has prescribed a course of Engineering at the end of which the Degree of B.E. is conferred on the successful candidates. The Advocate of the Bar Council who has become an eyesore to many practitioners practises in the Mofussil Courts of Sub-Judges and Sub-Divisional Magistrates in Taluka. It is the Advocate and the Advocate who alone practise in the District Courts and the High Court.
