Advocate Supreme Court

In Pakistan, to become an Advocate of the Supreme Court, a lawyer must meet certain qualifications and follow a specific procedure. Here's an overview of the process:

Enrollment as an Advocate:

The first step to becoming an Advocate of the Supreme Court in Pakistan is to enroll as an advocate of a High Court. To do this, a person must complete a law degree (LLB) from a recognized university and then pass the Bar Council Examination. After passing the examination, the individual can apply for enrollment with the relevant provincial Bar Council.

Practice as an Advocate:

After enrollment as an advocate, the individual must practice law for a certain number of years (usually at least five years) as an advocate of a High Court. During this period, the lawyer gains experience, builds a reputation, and demonstrates competence in legal practice.

Application for Advocate of Supreme Court:

 Once the lawyer fulfills the required years of practice as an advocate of a High Court, they become eligible to apply for the designation of "Advocate of the Supreme Court." The application is made to the Supreme Court Bar Association of Pakistan.

Vetting and Verification:

The application is vetted and verified by the relevant authorities to ensure that the lawyer meets the necessary criteria for elevation to the status of Advocate of the Supreme Court.

Notification:

If the application is approved, the lawyer is officially designated as an "Advocate of the Supreme Court of Pakistan." This designation allows the lawyer to practice law before the Supreme Court and present cases on behalf of clients in the highest court of the country.

It's important to note that the process and specific requirements may be subject to updates or changes by the legal authorities, so aspiring lawyers should refer to the latest regulations and guidelines issued by the relevant bodies in Pakistan. Becoming an Advocate of the Supreme Court is a significant achievement for a lawyer, as it allows them to represent clients in some of the most important and complex legal matters in the country.
