Advocates Can Now Apply for Judge Posts After 1 Year Practice The Supreme Court's decision to allow advocates with one year of practice to apply for judicial officer posts marks a significant shift in India's judicial recruitment process.
This move is seen as a step towards making the judiciary more accessible to fresh law graduates, but it also raises questions about the readiness of these recruits to preside over courts and decide cases.
The decision has its roots in the 1986 law commission recommendation that fresh law graduates be allowed to take the test for judicial officers with two years of on job training.
