Advocacy and Professional Ethics: With Special Chapter on Art of Cross Examination | 2024

The Supreme Court of India requires candidates to pass the Advocate-on-Record (AOR) examination before they can be enrolled in that capacity. The exam aims to assess whether an applicant fully understands the Court’s procedures, practices, and rules. Cases before the Apex Court demand highly specialized knowledge across multiple areas of law, including constitutional law. Candidates must also demonstrate strong drafting abilities, advocacy skills, and adherence to professional ethics. As the role of AORs continues to evolve and gain importance, the bar for qualifying grows higher each year—making dependable, authoritative study material essential.

This book, Advocacy and Professional Ethics, has been developed with these needs in mind. It features articles by prominent legal scholars and practitioners on key topics, along with recent and landmark decisions from the Supreme Court and select High Courts placed throughout the text.

Beyond its relevance to AOR candidates, the book also serves as a valuable resource for the wider legal community. It provides insights into professional ethics, contempt jurisdiction, Bar Council of India rules, lawyer–client relationships, confidentiality and conflict-of-interest issues, mediation law, and other important aspects of legal practice.
