I wanted to understand the whole process of getting enrolled with SBC (but I will be working with a law firm). So I understand that AIBE is mandatory to give and once cleared, we get our COPs. But that exam is held in Nov-Dec, so do we need to get enrolled with the SBC beforehand, like when our final college results are declared? Or do we enroll after the AIBE exam? And I live in one state but will be working in another - so which SBC should I apply for?
Also, the requirement of getting a moral and fitness certificate from atleast two persons of respectability and position (not being his relations) - will this include any person in the legal profession, including professors who sometimes also practice or do we need to get it from full time practising lawyers only?
