Lawyers too should undergo compulsory training like judges: SC
Observing that if there is there is a law academy for judges, why is it not for lawyers, the bench noted that no action is being taken against erring lawyers by the Bar Council.
Six new judges of the Madras High Court were sworn in on Friday, taking the strength of the judges to 60 as against the sanctioned 75.
Chief Justice Indira Banerjee administered the oath of office to the six new judges, including four women — S Ramathilagam, R Tharani, T Krishnavalli and R Hemalatha.
The other two judges are P. Rajamanickam and R Pongiappan.
