An Advocate-on-Record (AOR) is a special class of advocate who is permitted to:
- File cases and documents
- Represent clients officially in the Supreme Court
Only AORs can officially act and plead on behalf of a party.
To become an AOR, a lawyer must:
- Have 4 years’ experience as an advocate
- Work under an existing AOR for 1 year
- Pass the AOR exam conducted by the Supreme Court
Option A is correct — the AOR is the only advocate authorized to officially act for a party in the Supreme Court.
