Introduction

The Supreme Court of India made a new rule. The Indian Banks’ Association (IBA) cannot make a public list of 'bad' lawyers. The Bar Council of India (BCI) must now improve training for lawyers.

印度最高法院制定了一項新規則。印度銀行協會 (IBA) 不能夠建立一份「劣質」律師的公開名單。印度律師協會 (BCI) 現在必須改善對律師的培訓。

Main Body

A lawyer went to court. The IBA put his name on a list because a bank was unhappy with his work. The court said banks can stop working with a lawyer. But, banks cannot put a lawyer's name on a public list. Only the BCI can punish lawyers.

一名律師向法院提起訴訟。由於一家銀行對其工作表現不滿，IBA 將他的名字列入名單中。法院表示銀行可以停止與某位律師合作，但銀行不能將律師的名字列入公開名單。只有 BCI 才有權懲罰律師。

The court also saw a problem. Lawyers learn a lot before they start work. But they do not have a place to learn new things after they start. This is a problem for modern law.

法院也發現了一個問題。律師在開始執業前學習了很多知識，但在執業後卻缺乏學習新知識的管道。對於現代法律而言，這是一個問題。

To fix this, the court wants a National Legal Academy. This school will help lawyers learn new skills and technology. The BCI must now make a plan for this school.

為了改善此情況，法院希望成立一個國家法律學院。這所學校將幫助律師學習新技能與技術。BCI 現在必須為這所學校制定計劃。

Conclusion

The court said the IBA must remove the lawyer's name from the list. The BCI must now tell the court about the new school and new rules.

法院裁定 IBA 必須將該律師的名字從名單中移除。BCI 現在必須向法院報告關於新學校與新規則的進展。

⚡ The 'Can' vs 'Cannot' Switch

The Pattern:

  • Can →\rightarrow Yes / Allowed
  • Cannot →\rightarrow No / Forbidden

Examples from the text:

  • Banks can stop working with a lawyer. →\rightarrow (This is okay)
  • Banks cannot put a name on a public list. →\rightarrow (This is not okay)

Quick Tip for Beginners: Instead of saying "It is not possible to...", just use cannot. It is shorter, clearer, and sounds more natural in everyday English.
