Can someone help with finding a good senior in Madhya Pradesh HC. Merit oriented and integrity. As opposed to the OP and comments therein, I think parent HCs are highly politicised where practice for 1st Gen lawyer is equally difficult as is in Delhi where judicial structure is more competent.
Any leads would be highly highly appreciated.
I am a 4th year law student (tier 2 city)...and while a bit disheartened i understand your advice stems from experience...but as mentioned that some pack up very soon and leave.... however can u tell what happened to those who stayed and didn't quit Delhi...are they doing good (like those didn't had any contacts)?
Yours Truly
An Aspiring Delhi-Based Litigator
I had the time of my life finding a competent local counsel there. Played it “safe” (or so I thought), by initially (a) approaching kids (practising lawyers) of Senior Advocates/ sitting/ retired HC/SC judges and (b) lawyers from two of Allahabads supposedly most prestigious chambers. My view - the ones I encountered were a set of elite, over entitled, no gooders.Not one of them cared to read the file after sitting on it for over a week!
But I didn’t loose hope. I kept window shopping, and through that effort, was introduced to an enterprising lawyer couple - they acted with diligence and promptitude, and got my interim relief!!
Long story short - There will be no dearth of work for you in UP, if you have good attitude. Asking much!!?
Breathe fresh air, be a rockstar at your HC. Competition kills in Delhi. Undercutting is rampant.
So, where should I start, parent court or Delhi?
