Senior Advocate

Senior Advocate is an advocate who has been designated as such by either the Supreme Court or the High Court.

In India, a Senior Advocate cannot file a vakalathnama, appear in the Court without another advocate or advocate-on-record, cannot directly accept an engagement to appear in a case or draft pleadings. A senior advocate argues cases in Court upon instructions from another advocate. Senior advocates wear gowns that have flaps on the shoulders.
