“Defining Court Craft: “Advocate and Advocacy: The Skill – A Dip into the Ocean”
I take great pleasure in sharing a significant milestone in my legal journey. After over three decades of practice at the High Court of Madras, I have authored and published my book, “Advocate and Advocacy. The Skill: A Dip into the Ocean.”
The book was formally released on 28th July 2026 at the Madras High Court Advocates’ Association (MHAA) Library, in the esteemed presence of Senior Counsel Mr. T. Mohan and MHAA President Mr. R.C. Paul Kanagaraj.
About the Book
Written with young lawyers, junior advocates, and law graduates in mind, this handbook bridges the critical gap between academic legal education and the practical realities of courtroom litigation.
Unlike traditional statutory treatises, it focuses on the essence of “court craft”—offering actionable insights on professional ethics, self-reliance, duty to the court, and sustaining a meaningful practice over time. It is designed as a companion to help the next generation navigate the foundational, and often challenging, early years at the Bar.
