BSSC Advocate Panel Recruitment 2026

About This Job

Bihar Staff Selection Commission (BSSC) is preparing a new advocate panel for matters before the Patna High Court. Lawyers with a law degree, required High Court experience, and suitable AOR details can apply offline. The application window runs from 30 June 2026 to 14 July 2026. This is an empanelment process, so the notice does not give a fixed number of vacancies or a monthly salary.

BSSC Advocate Panel Recruitment 2026

Bihar Staff Selection Commission has issued notice no. 2769/Legal dated 25 June 2026 for forming a panel of advocates. The panel will support the Commission in court representation and legal drafting work connected with Patna High Court cases. The final decision on panel formation will rest with BSSC, and the panel period will be two years, with changes or extension possible as per Commission approval.

This listing is useful if you are an advocate who already handles High Court work, statement of facts, show cause drafting, legal opinion work, or appearance and argument matters. The notice mentions separate professional charges for senior advocates and junior advocates. You should read the official PDF and send the prescribed application form with supporting documents before the last date.

Because this is a legal panel, you should treat it as professional empanelment and not as a regular staff appointment. BSSC may assign appearance, argument, SOF drafting, show cause drafting, opinion, consultation, or file-related legal support based on the case requirement. The notice also says the Commission can decide service conditions and change the panel period after approval, so applicants should be ready for panel-based case work rather than a fixed daily office role.

Who Can Apply?

Educational Qualification

• Minimum qualification: You need at least a law graduate degree from a recognised institution or university.
• For statement of facts and drafting work: You should have at least 10 years of experience in preparing SOF, cause/show cause replies, or legal drafts for departments, commissions, institutions, corporations, or High Court matters.
• For court representation: You should be an Advocate on Record (AOR) holder with 10 years of practice in the Patna High Court.

Other Requirements

• AOR details: The submitted application must mention the advocate's AOR number, bench clerk name, and registration number.
• Office coordination: Panel advocates may need to collect necessary files, secretarial papers, and case records from the Commission office by themselves or through a clerk.
• Reporting duty: The notice requires evidence-supported reports to be submitted to the Commission office every 3 months.
• Case preparation: You should be comfortable preparing factual notes, checking records, and sending drafts or reports in the format asked by the Commission.

Professional Fees

This is not a regular monthly salary post. BSSC has notified case-based professional charges for legal work handled by panel advocates.

• Senior advocates - Appearance/Argument: Rs. 4,000 per matter
• Senior advocates - SOF/Show Cause Drafting: Rs. 3,000 per matter
• Senior advocates - Opinion/Consultation: Rs. 3,000 per matter
• Junior advocates - Appearance/Argument: Rs. 2,500 per matter
• Junior advocates - SOF/Show Cause Drafting: Rs. 2,500 per matter
• Junior advocates - Opinion/Consultation: Rs. 2,000 per matter
• Clerkage charge: 10% of the fee, payable in the advocate clerk's account as per the notice.

Final payment and service conditions will follow the Commission's decision for the panel and the assigned legal work. For matters not covered in the listed rates, the notice says the Commission's decision will be effective and final.

Selection Process (No Written Exam)

The notice does not mention any written exam or interview schedule. The selection will be based on scrutiny of applications and BSSC's panel decision.

1. Application Scrutiny: BSSC will check the prescribed form, qualification, experience, AOR details, and supporting documents.
2. Panel Decision: The Commission's decision on the new panel will be final.
3. Empanelment Period: The panel will run for two years, unless BSSC changes the terms or extends the period with approval.
