The Supreme Court has reduced the mandatory legal practice requirement for civil judge aspirants from three years to one, aiming to provide relief to young lawyers and recent law graduates. The revised framework mandates that successful candidates complete training at a judicial academy and an additional one-year clerkship, which will serve as an equivalent to the three-year practice requirement.
This change is expected to ease entry into the judiciary for young advocates, ensuring they gain necessary practical exposure through training and clerkship.
