The Supreme Court Advocates-on-Record Association (SCAORA) has set up a dedicated help desk to support Advocates-on-Record in their Supreme Court engagements. This initiative aims to streamline procedures, provide guidance, and address challenges faced by lawyers. By offering essential assistance, the help desk enhances efficiency and accessibility within the legal framework. SCAORA’s effort is expected to benefit many legal professionals navigating the complexities of Supreme Court practice.
Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna highlighted the vital role of Advocates-on-Record (AORs) in the legal system, urging them to balance professional and social responsibilities. He advised new AORs to take up cases that sustain their livelihood while also contributing to society. The Supreme Court, he emphasized, holds high expectations from them. His remarks highlighted the importance of legal service beyond personal gain.
The Supreme Court ruled that Advocates-on-Record (AoRs) can mark appearances only for lawyers who actually appear and argue in a case. The Court emphasized that High Courts and District Courts follow a similar practice, disallowing multiple counsel from marking appearances. This reinforces the need for a structured and consistent approach in court proceedings. The ruling aims to maintain procedural discipline and avoid unnecessary representation.
The Supreme Court directed newly designated Senior Advocates to inform their clients about their senior status. This move aims to ensure transparency and awareness among litigants. The designation comes with added responsibilities and higher fees, making disclosure crucial. The court’s directive reinforces ethical legal practices.
