Theme
As we know, India is a developing nation with a huge growth in the sector of globalization and a versatile market which has been attracting a lot of multi-national companies (MNCs) lately. Therefore, with the advent of MNCs in our country there has been a growing problem of land acquisition and other where rights of natives are being violated due to their lack of knowledge in legal matters caused by usage and prevalence of foreign language in legal fraternities and which has led to a setback in providing proper legal solutions to the needy ones (especially the ones who have their command of native languages only).
Client counselling is a vital skill for lawyers to develop in order to achieve the heights of success that they aspire for, inculcating the skills of analyzing, interpreting and understanding the legal issues and plaints of the client in vernacular and regional languages, in the process of gaining legal education makes it easier for the students when they first step out as a professional. One of the significant functions of a lawyer is to advise people to seek assistance in knowing the legal implications of their actions. Lawyer is looked upon to facilitate decision making in certain critical legal matters. This function of the lawyer influencing and facilitating decisions is called counselling.
The process of counseling has three functions:
- To help the person to discuss, analyze and make concise and sound decisions in the court of law.
- To make a person aware of their possible plans of action that they may be entitled to.
- To achieve quick resolve through means of counseling and concluding on mid-way settlements and not get in the hassle of complicated legal procedures which are very time consuming.
The primary tool that helps the lawyer in carrying out the above listed functions is communication and understanding. As simple as it may sound, communication often becomes a problem during counseling, especially in a country as diverse as ours where language and accent changes with each state and sometimes even with community. And to add-on to the problem, the high rate of illiteracy prevalent in India with a population of 1.6 billion along with native speaking clients and secondary status given to the vernacular languages of the country in courts serves as a roadblock in providing efficient legal solutions.
Hence, the main theme of this event revolves around the language of Hindi and their contribution in making justice inclusive to the native speaking clients.
