Abstract
An effective justice delivery system requires that justice be made available at the door step of people and for that we should have talented, dedicated and qualified legal professionals who serve at the grassroot level. The main focus of legal reform has historically been limited to improving infrastructure for the judiciary, but the one aspect that has been ignored is the lawyer—the most basic pillar of the judicial system. A lawyer must not only have improved legal skills but most importantly, embody social responsibility and a strong professional ethics along with a commitment to the integrity and working of the legal system. Continuing legal education is the need of the hour; legal education should be dynamic rather than static. In order to keep lawyers abreast with the changing law in the society, there is a need to organize seminars, conferences and workshops etc. very regularly and making it mandatory for professional lawyers to attain the same. This can go a long way in enhancing the standards and quality of the profession.
