BCI Regulates Advocates' Social Media Use

The Bar Council of India (BCI) has taken a significant step to regulate the social media use of advocates across the country. In a recent circular, the BCI has warned advocates against creating and sharing promotional content on social media platforms. This move is expected to help maintain professional standards among lawyers and prevent any potential misuse of social media. The BCI has emphasized the importance of adhering to professional ethics and conduct rules. By regulating social media use, the BCI aims to ensure that advocates do not engage in any activity that may compromise their professional integrity.
