Munshiana

TitleMunshiana
DetailsThe practice of Munshiana at the Lahore bar is that a litigant pays counsel for his clerk, or pays to the clerk direct, about 10 percent of the fee paid to counsel, except where the fee is large, and that in the latter case the percentage is proportionately reduced. The Munshiana system is very similar to that in force in England where a clerk is paid by his employer and receives fees from that employer’s clients.
