Why these twelve
These twelve cover the practice areas that account for the overwhelming majority of advocate work across the Supreme Court, the 25 High Courts, the eCourts District network, and the seven major tribunals. They are not exclusive — many advocates work across two or three — but each has a distinct statutory framework, distinct forum patterns, and distinct limitation rules that justify dedicated workflow context.
Specialised forums like POCSO, NDPS, PMLA, NIA, and CBI courts are covered under Criminal Litigation. Sectoral regulators (SEBI, IRDAI, TRAI, RBI) are covered under the relevant practice (corporate, banking & finance, etc.) where appellate forums (SAT, SEBI Appellate Tribunal, etc.) overlap.
For each practice area, the dedicated landing page lists the statutory framework with citations, the primary forums in order of escalation, the common matter types, the limitation quirks (which are often the source of dropped matters in busy practices), and the CourtNetra workflow that fits.
