Consumer Law

Hi,
I think more than the scope, the interest of individual matters for success in a particular area of law. Let's say, for example, I am interested in information technology law but I pursue consumer law after my law school. I would not be working with that zeal or enthusiasm as compared to IT law. Therefore, according to me, the interest mattes more than the scope as you can make money under any area of law and practice.
But coming to the question, most of the areas of law are interlinked. Which one has a better scope? I think both of these are too diverse fields and have a lot of subject matters within. Both information technology and consumer law are governed by specific legislation. But surely, in the era of information technology I think information technology law has better scope in the future. It is because of the fact that with growing technology, the offenses and penalties would be increased and would surely be one of the most interesting areas of law.

First of all, both are very different areas and they shouldn't be compared, but I would still answer it as to the best of my knowledge.
There is no official data available in India about the number of lawyers in both areas and about their salaries so it becomes tough to compare both.
Business law is about disputes between firms, companies, partnerships, and small businesses.
All these people or most of these companies, partnerships, and firms have their fixed lawyers and when any dispute arises their lawyers fight (I mean the same lawyer for that company), but when it comes to consumer protection laws, it is emerging day by day because awareness among the consumers is increasing and the number of cases is also increasing day by day and they don't have any fixed lawyers.
So, from this point of view, consumer protection law has more scope.
