The State is a different kind of client. It has no private interest; it holds a public trust. This book describes the office of the Chief Standing Counsel — an office held by the author across three successive terms at the Lucknow Bench of the High Court of Judicature at Allahabad — and sets out the particular discipline that attaches to advocacy on behalf of the State in constitutional proceedings.
