Supreme Court’s Three-Year Legal Practice Ruling Likely to Face Review Petition from Judiciary Coaching Members

The Supreme Court of India has ordered that in order for candidates to be qualified for entry-level judicial officer jobs, they must have a minimum of three years of experience working as advocates in the legal field. In contrast to the policy that had been in place for the past two decades and permitted recent law school graduates to compete for these positions, this decision represents a significant adjustment. It is the intention of this order to ensure that new judicial officers have real legal expertise, which will ultimately lead to an improvement in the quality and integrity of the judicial system. This move, on the other hand, has prompted disputes among members of the judiciary coaching community and those who are seeking to become judges. These individuals claim that it may create barriers for first-generation lawyers and impede the admission of fresh talent into justice.
