| Advocates: Prior to the enactment of the Advocates Act, the term "advocates" referred only to English and Irish barristers and members of the Faculty of Advocates in Scotland. This class was permitted to practise in the Supreme Court of Judicature in Bengal, to the exclusion of native practitioners. However, today this term is used to refer to lawyers qualified to practise in the Courts of India. An advocate is a person authorized to appear in a legal matter on behalf of a party. An advocate possesses a law degree and is enrolled with a Bar Council, as prescribed by the Advocates Act, 1961. Advocates are the only class of persons legally entitled to practise law or to provide legal advice. After being authorized to appear in a case by a client who has signed a vakalat, advocates prepare cases and argue them in Court. When appearing in a courtroom, an advocate usually dresses in black and white, and wears a band and gown. |
