DPAs To Announce New Cooperative Arrangement At Conference This Month

The Arrangement will speed up the ability for DPAs to co-investigate and share information, Bernier noted.

Manan Kumar Mishra, the chairman of the Bar Council of India (BCI), made the startling revelation during a recent speech. ""Thirty percent of all lawyers are fake, who either hold fraudulent degrees or are nonpracticing persons and 20% of those who sport lawyers ' robes do not have proper degrees,"" Mishra said.
