When a Junior Lawyer goes for conference to Senior Advocate, to brief him for a Supreme Court Appeal, he may expect following questions from Senior Advocate ...
1) Who are we? ( Answer could be Petitioner, Respondent Plaintiff, or difendant, etc.... )
2) Who first went to the court ?
3) What was his prayer before trial court?
4) What did trial court do? What order did it pass?
5) Who went in appeal? Was there any cross appeal filed?
6) What did Appellate Court do? What order did it pass?
7) Who went to High Court? What did High Court do?
8) Why? Why did High Court do that? Show me page where High Court has given reasons?
9) And why do you say that this order of High Court is wrong?
Thereafter, a brain storming conference takes place in which possible arguments are explored..
Here, if you have engaged an experienced Advocate on Record, he could help Senior Advocate in a great way because he may have references of suggested orders which may be possible.
And he may have noticed some key fact which may not have been discussed in High Court judgement. This can sometimes make a great difference.
