High Court Advocates Association hits ‘dislike’ on lawyers’ reels

The Kerala High Court Advocates Association (KHCAA) has criticized lawyers for posting reels on social media that allegedly violate ethical standards, claiming they undermine the dignity of the profession. The association issued a circular urging members to avoid creating content around court premises, warning of potential legal action under the Advocates Act. A specific case involves a Kottayam-based lawyer whose Instagram reel, mixing gym footage with courtroom scenes, led to a complaint. Another reel, featuring a lawyer discussing her day in court and interacting with colleagues, was also flagged. The KHCAA plans to investigate and forward the matter to the Bar Council of Kerala and the High Court Registry. The Bar Council of India previously addressed similar concerns regarding unauthorized filming in court areas.

Bias read (Center): The article presents a balanced report on the KHCAA's actions and the broader regulatory concerns raised by the Bar Council of India.
