In Part I, Nagasaila talks about how she perservered through the legal profession despite being a first-generation woman lawyer, the legends at the Madras Bar who inspired her, and more.
Lawyers lament that the MHAA, which is the oldest lawyers' body in Asia, is not what it used to be in the first 100 years of its existence because of party politics.
MHAA passed a resolution condemning CAT Judicial Member, Lata Basavaraj Patne, for having asked a senior member of the Bar to "get out" of her court room during a hearing.
Some lawyers in Chennai believe that the onus to ensure that juniors are paid must not be foisted on seniors alone; the State government should step in to provide subsidies to young lawyers.
MHAA told the Court that it would scrutinise all applications submitted by contesting candidates to ensure that the principle of 'one bar one vote' is followed.
