Supreme Court Judges Highlight the Power of Effective Legal Drafting for AoRs

In a recent address to newly enrolled Advocates-on-Record (AoRs), Supreme Court judges underscored the significance of precise and well-structured drafting in legal proceedings. They pointed out that the quality of pleadings can have a direct impact on the fate of a case, making it crucial for lawyers to focus on clarity, coherence, and conciseness.

The judges advised that poorly drafted petitions often lead to confusion, delays, and even unfavorable decisions, while a well-drafted argument enhances a lawyer’s credibility and helps the court in delivering justice efficiently. They urged young legal professionals to prioritize substance over excessive legal jargon and ensure that their arguments are presented in a logical and persuasive manner.
By mastering the art of drafting, advocates can strengthen their case presentation and contribute to a smoother judicial process. The insights shared during the session served as a valuable guide for AoRs looking to refine their skills and build a strong foundation for their legal practice.
