For practicing as an advocate in India, which of the following is/are required?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
In order to be eligible for enrolment, an Advocate must be: a citizen of India, atleast 21 years of age and must have an LLB degree from an Indian University. A foreign national may be enrolled on a reciprocal basis with the country of his citizenship, and his foreign degree may be recognized by the Council for the purpose. In the absence of such reciprocity, foreign nationals cannot practice law in India. The Council has released a list of foreign degrees that it recognizes. There is an additional requirement of an All India Bar Examination since 2010, which Advocates must clear in order to be able to start practice.
