Why do you think Trilegal/SAM outsource all Litigation work to Sr Advocates - Is it because they don't have any lawyers who are capable of arguing - No, it's becuase judges dont know who is a Trilegal or SAM lawyer. They dont care. But when a Sr Advocate from a legacy family comes judges are willing to stoop down and hear their argument.
Senior Advocates are from mega families (most Sr Adv's are appointed on basis of sheer nepotism) Judges respect them - and give them more time for their hearings. Sr Advocates can easily threaten a Subordinate Court Judge with dire consequences.
Only people equivalent to an Sr Advocate is a High Court Judge (Nepo Judge, Not a Judicial Officer who got promoted) and Supreme Court Judges.
