Hello Experts,
Yesterday, the Bar council of India declared results of All India Bar Exam - XI, conducted in Dec-2017. I have passed in the exam and now I have a few questions,
- Though, I have passed the exam, the certificate of practice(COP) is not yet issued by the BCI. I heard that it takes more than 6 months to issue the formal certificate.
- Now before receiving the COP, can I accept clients independently and sign the Vakalatnama ?
- Can I represent my clients in High Court also?
- Are there any restrictions in spite of passing the BCI exam?
Thanks in advance,
Prakash R

Yes Sir. Without getting enrolled in State Bar Council, it is not possible to appear for All India Bar Council Exam. As I said earlier, I have passed in that exam too.
