Why was the boycott of courts by lawyers important in the Non-Cooperation Movement?

Correct answer: It challenged the prestige of the colonial judicial system

Colonial courts were important institutions through which British authority was exercised and respected. When lawyers refused to practise in them, they withdrew professional cooperation, questioned the courts’ moral prestige and encouraged the public to challenge colonial institutions. The boycott did not strengthen courts, end every dispute or directly improve harvests. Therefore option A is correct.
