BCD warns advocates against online, YouTube solicitation

New Delhi, Aug 6 (UNI) The Bar Council of Delhi has issued a stern notice cautioning advocates against advertising or soliciting legal work through social media platforms.
The regulatory body has flagged the increasing trend of lawyers and self-proclaimed ‘legal influencers’ posting promotional videos, client interactions, and other content online, which it deemed unethical and in violation of Rule 36 of the Bar Council of India Rules.
While issuing a notice, BCD Chairman Surya Prakash Khatri emphasised the seriousness of the matter and stated that such conduct undermines the dignity and sanctity of the legal profession and poses a risk of spreading misinformation, particularly when done by individuals who lack proper legal qualifications or licensing.
