      I joined practice in Agra last year (2016 August). Since Delhi is quite close to my place and I have interest in Constitution law, I want to practice in Supreme Court. I have been told that I will have to pass examination for Advocate On Record. How can I do it and how can I pass the advocate on record exam?

      In this regard, please note that an advocate with less than one year’s practice cannot argue a case in the Supreme Court, but he can mention a case for seeking date, time or adjournment, etc.

      Any other advocate with more than one year’s practice (irrespective of in which state he or she is enrolled as advocate) can appear before the Supreme Court and argue a case.

      However, only an advocate on record can file Vakalatnama in the Supreme Court on behalf of a client. An advocate who is not an advocate on record, cannot file vakalatnama on behalf of a client, but he can argue the case on instructions from an advocate on record.

      For becoming an advocate on record in the Supreme Court:

      • You will have to undergo training under an approved advocate on record for a period of one year. But, you can register for such training only after completing 4 years’ practice.
      • After such training, you will have to pass the advocate on record examination conducted by the Supreme Court.
      • You will have to have an office in Delhi within 16 km from Supreme Court.
      • You will have to employ a registered clerk after becoming AOR.

      For more details on this, please read the Supreme Court Rules, 2013, which are available online on SC website.
