- This is also about a right to have an enforceable Fee-Structure which can be enforced and recovered from clients on basis of independently verifiable proof of such actual hours spent and work is done by advocates in court and how this has now become possible due to certain software available in the market.

- This is also about discussing the rights of junior advocates to be able to get at least some prefixed Minimum Wages.

About the Speaker
Advocate Haresh A. Raichura, Supreme Court of India, New Delhi. In 1982, while practicing in District Court Junagadh, he was standing before a cupboard in the library and he was reading a Justice P N Bhagwati Judgement. Just then an idea came.
If he works hard in district court, his work can benefit only one or two persons. But if he works hard in Supreme Court, it can benefit thousands of litigants. This is how a dream began. In 1990, after 8 years, he was practising in Supreme Court.
