Which of the following is not included within the definition of “Law Officer” under the Law Officers (Appointment and Conditions of Service) and Conduct of Legal Affairs of the Government Rules, 2009 ?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
A designated Senior Advocate is not, merely by that designation, a “Law Officer” under rule 2(h). The definition expressly includes the Advocate General, Government Pleader and Special Counsel, among other government law officers. Senior designation describes an advocate’s professional status and does not itself constitute appointment to one of those offices.
