Title A name given to the resource An empirical study on the clients perspective in decision making with regard to lawyer selection for trial courts: Does grey hair matter? Subject The topic of the resource Age; Clients lawyer selection; Junior lawyers; Seniority; Trial court Description An account of the resource In higher courts, statutory interpretation and persuasion of the court with new perspectives on legal principles are critical. Whereas, the main focus of the subordinate courts is on evidential underpinnings. Hence, the lawyers in all courts are an indispensable part of the judicial process and play a seminal role in the dispensation of justice. The existing literature demonstrates that engaging a senior lawyer increases the chances of winning cases. However, young lawyers today make their mark by establishing their own offices, succeeding in the profession, while some remain the dark horses of their incumbent seniors. Against this backdrop, the authors explore the clients perception of the lawyer selection process and the significance of lawyers age using a mixed methods approach. The data for this study was gathered from trial court clients using a convenient sampling method. The qualitative data were collected by conducting semi-structured interviews with clients. Interviews were analysed at a thematic level and broad themes were identified and used as constructs for a quantitative survey questionnaire. The quantitative data were analysed through Pearson correlation, regression analysis, and factor analysis. The study determined that lawyers efficiency is a key factor considered by trial court clients in selecting their lawyers. The results also revealed that there exists a significant positive correlation between the age of the lawyer and the clients decision making when choosing their lawyers. In the end, the implications of the findings are discussed. 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to O.P. Jindal Global University (JGU).
