“Experience the highest level of Indian litigation by assisting an Advocate-on-Record in the high-stakes environment of the Supreme Court of India.”
About the Role: Advocate-on-Record (AOR)
An Advocate-on-Record (AOR) is a specialized legal professional authorized by the Supreme Court of India to file and conduct cases. While any advocate may argue before the bench, only an AOR can formally act on behalf of a party, file petitions, and communicate with the Court Registry.
Interning at the Office of Aditya Sharma (AOR) provides a rare window into the procedural and substantive complexities of the Apex Court. You will transition from theoretical study to the practical realities of Special Leave Petitions (SLPs), Writ Petitions, and appellate strategy.
