Course on AoR Exam & Supreme Court Practice
In the legal realm of India, the role of an Advocate-on-Record (AOR) embodies the essence of the quote, “It is better to be unique than to be best” by Justice AK Sikri. Being an AOR in India is like standing out in a crowd rather than just trying to be the best. It’s not just about being a good lawyer; it’s about meeting special requirements and passing tough exams set by the Supreme Court
Who Is An Advocate-on-record?
AOR
- An AOR, as per Order IV of Supreme Court Rules, is authorized to plead on behalf of their clients in the Supreme Court.
- Filing cases before the Supreme Court is exclusively within the purview of AORs.
- AORs constitute a group of lawyers primarily practicing before the Supreme Court.
- The selection of AORs, done by the Supreme Court itself, ensures that qualified lawyers can represent litigants in the court of last resort.
- Upon becoming an AOR one gains the unique privilege of directly filing and arguing cases in the Supreme Court.
- This privilege is not solely based on overall excellence but specifically on possessing a skill set tailored for the intricate procedures of the highest court in the country.
“Had a very knowledgeable experience. I got to learn about different facets of Arbitration and the methods to deal with
Arbitration proceedings at different stages.”
Aniket Singh Das, Legal Associate, Chamber of Sh. Ravindra Shrivastava, Sr. Advocate at the Supreme Court of India
Challenges to becoming an AOR!
What sets the AOR examination process apart is that there are no fixed seats; anyone meeting the criteria and successfully clearing the exam can attain this position. In contrast to certain government exams with limited seats, the AOR exam does not impose such constraints. Despite this open opportunity, the low number of AORs can be attributed to several factors:
Challenges
- Firstly, there is a lack of sufficient attention and recognition given to this prestigious post.
- Additionally, aspiring lawyers may lack a proper roadmap and guidance, finding themselves entangled in the complexities of litigation without a clear path towards becoming an AOR.
- The absence of expert guidance, both in terms of course preparation and mentorship on relevant subjects, contributes to the scarcity of professionals holding this esteemed designation. The absence of expert guidance, both in terms of course preparation and mentorship on relevant subjects, contributes to the scarcity of professionals holding this esteemed designation.
- Moreover, the challenge of time management and the inability to allocate sufficient time for exam preparation further hinder the realization of more AORs in the legal landscape.
