the requisite qualification for law officer should be a law graduate. To file writ and prepare pleadings need experience

Yes. LLB qualification, I am getting in few months. But to choose as Independent Advocate or company advoacte, is my question, As I am seeing various judgements in this case. Need to clear my confusion, before taking my decision as an Advocate.

Unless you register/enroll with Bar Council you cannot be termed as Advocate. To enroll or register with Bar Council you need LLB degree from University or Law college.
