*Meet JC Lalnunsanga, who made history as the first-ever Mizo Advocate-on-Record (AOR) in the Supreme Court.* In a world where Supreme Court success is often tied to family legacies and Delhi connections, JC had neither. What he did have was something far more powerful: an *unwavering dream to practice at India's highest court.* Like many advocates practicing in their home states, JC initially had to rely on senior AORs to file Supreme Court matters on his behalf. While this arrangement worked, *he knew there was a bigger opportunity waiting.*

👉🏻 It is necessary to get a certificate from an AOR in order to file a special leave petition under Article 136 of the Constitution 👉🏻 No person can act on behalf of an AOR except another AOR 👉🏻 Even a law firm in which all partners are AOR can be registered as an AOR itself *There are obvious economic benefits of becoming an AOR.* But most lawyers cannot make the cut. “React 👍 on this message to know how qualifying this exam will impact your local and state practice"

Why are Advocate-on-Record (AORs) special❓ *Let’s take a look at some of the privileges AORs enjoy:* 👉🏻 No case can be filed in the Supreme Court (SC) without appointing an AOR 👉🏻 Not even senior advocates can appear in the SC without an AOR 👉🏻 Only an AOR can file a vakalatnama in the SC 👉🏻 Every notice, order & correspondence from the SC is sent to the AOR
