Career Tip by Judge to a Young Lawyer :
"Do you know it takes on average about 10 to 12 years before a junior lawyer gets a chance to address Supreme Court? You just wasted your chance.
The Scence:
The case was called out.
A young lawyer appeared and requested judges to keep back the case for some time as his senior lawyer was engaged in some another court.
Judge said, "How much time he may take in coming here?"
Junior said,"About 10 minutes."
Judge said,"Do you have got papers?"
Junior said,"Yes. I have."
Judge asked,"Do you know what is this case about? Have you read papers?"
Junior said,"No, I have not read papers. I do not know what this case is about."
Two Judges looked at each other. They were feeling sorry for the Junior advocate.
Then Senior Judge said,"Do you know that it takes 10 to 12 years before a junior advocate gets a chance to address Supreme Court? You have just wasted your chance."
