THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said that many things have happened recently that remind the Kerala Bar Council to pay more attention to corrective measures to prevent decay in the legal field. He was inaugurating the scheme of giving stipends to junior lawyers under the auspices of the Bar Council.

"There used to be a culture of lawyers voluntarily intervening where justice was denied. We should think if some other trends are replacing this in the new era. Court proceedings will be transparent if there is transparency in the legal profession. Laws should be made a means of justice. Only then will the people's faith in the judiciary increase," he said.
