Appearance Not Limited To Making Submissions': SCBA & SCAORA File Petition In Supreme Court On Marking Of Lawyers' Appearances

The Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) and the Supreme Court Advocates-on-Record Association (SCAORA) have filed a petition challenging the Supreme Court's approach to marking the appearance of lawyers in court. The petitioners argue that the current practice of marking appearances is not limited to making submissions but extends to physical presence, which can hinder lawyers' ability to effectively represent their clients. They claim that the present system affects the efficiency and efficacy of legal proceedings. The petition seeks to reform the practice, allowing more flexibility in marking appearances. The case raises important issues related to lawyer's rights and the conduct of legal proceedings in the Supreme Court.
