Yes, a person who has cleared AIBE once can practice again even after a long career break. The AIBE certificate does not expire, and once you get your Certificate of Practice (COP), it stays valid. However, some State Bar Councils may ask you to update your records or submit a declaration before restarting practice. You may also need to clear any pending fees or renewal requirements. After completing these small formalities, you can freely start practicing in courts again. This allows lawyers to return to their profession whenever they are ready.
