Q. Which one of the following is a unique feature of the Supreme Court Advocates-on-Record Association (SCAORA) compared to the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA)?

[A] SCAORA membership is open to all advocates practicing in the Supreme Court.

[B] SCAORA represents the interests of a specialized group of lawyers authorized to file cases in the Supreme Court.

[C] SCAORA is primarily concerned with organizing seminars and social events.

[D] SCAORA handles general welfare concerns of all Supreme Court lawyers.

Answer: B
Notes:

Explanations – The Supreme Court Advocates-on-Record Association (SCAORA) is unique because it specifically represents Advocates-on-Record (AoRs)—a specialized category of lawyers who are authorized to file cases in the Supreme Court after passing the AoR examination. This distinguishes SCAORA from the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA), which represents all advocates practicing in the Supreme Court, including senior advocates and junior lawyers. The SCBA primarily addresses general issues affecting lawyers, such as infrastructure, welfare, professional concerns, and administrative matters related to the functioning of the Supreme Court. It serves as a collective voice for all lawyers practicing at the apex court. SCBA was established earlier than SCAORA.
