RFGI’s Report on Entry Barriers to Litigation

The “Entry Barriers to Litigation” report is based on a survey and a series of interviews held in 2009 and 2010 by Research Foundation for Governance in India (RFGI). It analyses the bridge between legal education and “junior” level litigation in India and gives a comparative analysis of the systems prevalent in the UK and USA. The report showcases the several entry barriers which prevent law students from entering the profession of litigation and in which adversely affect the quality of the legal profession in India, ultimately hampering the process of administration of justice. It gives recommendations as to how the current system can be improved by removing the unregulated juniorship barrier and by lessening the effect of family background.
