Course Objective: Profession are noble. The movement of all professions, hitherto, has been from chaos to
organization, organization to consolidation and consolidation to autonomy and monopoly. Same is true of the law
profession also. The prime reason for conferring autonomy and monopoly by the society on the profession is the
fact that they are a body of learned persons and the interest of society and individuals is safe in their hands. It is too
good of the society to trust the learned body of the professional to regulate themselves and not to empower an
outsider to sit in judgment over their activities. The trust reposed by the society is to be zealously guarded. The Bar
should live up to the expectations of the society. The society has a right to expect of the professionals such ideal
behavior. The Bar should set enviable standards of ethics and scrupulously adhere to them as also enforce them.
The course is designed to imbue students with these high values forming the basis of the profession so that they
can live up to those standards in their professional life.
