Today I met an old friend after a gap of some years.
In early years, when I met him, he was practising in Supreme Court. Then later he focused on High Court as well.
Now after a gap of some years, I saw him in Supreme Court. He had today two to three matters.
I asked him,"Which Court is good to practice in as a lawyer, where you get most satisfaction as a lawyers?"
The question was tricky.
Because the word "Good" has different meaning to different lawyers.
The different things give satisfactions to different lawyers.
His Answer
He said Supreme Court and Trial Courts are better places to practice than High Courts.
I asked, why?
He said, a court is "good" where cases are concluded one way or other, in favour of one party or other party.
In Trial Court and Supreme Court, on each dates, stages of cases move and advance from one stage to another.
The stages, cases or parts of cases, conclude here rapidly.
Whereas in High Court, it takes long long time to conclude cases between parties.
The dissatisfaction perception of litigants and Lawyers is higher in High Courts.
Conclusion
If you are a junior advocate who have just joined Bar, it may help to think over above view.
