Judiciary is the system in India which gives us the rights embedded in the pages of the Indian Constitution. To take us to the judiciary we seek the help of an advocate. An advocate is a professionally qualified lawyer who has studied 5 yrs of law. After pursuing law from a good college one has to practice under a successful advocate which will give the person enough experience to practice on his own
It is not yet a famous profession among the youths because to excel at the work one needs to be a student again, dedicated and committed. An advocate has a huge responsibility over a case in court. You cannot shilly-shally in your profession. It can deal with a life, property, money, honor or anything. An advocate must first learn to give respect to a person and his needs only then he can defend or counter the case in court with utmost dedication.
The career growth of an advocate is a treat to watch. An advocate can be a judge in an high court and after that a chief justice of an high court. In some cases you can also be a district and sessions court judge. The chief justice of a supreme court can be an acting President in the absence of a President and a Vice President.

Therefore, an advocate has a lot of services to render and a very dignified status if you can show justice to your profession.
