Family Law

Hey,
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 tax law but I pursue family law after my law school. I would not be working with that zeal or enthusiasm as compared to tax 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. What has the better scope? I think both of these are too diverse fields and have a lot of subject matters within. Taxation law is governed by a legislation but there are several legislations for matters related to family law. It is very difficult to come to a conclusion as to what area of law has a wider scope. I would go with taxation law but. With regular changes in taxation regime and new structure coming into place, I think it has better scope.

Hello, before getting into this question, I will just tell you one basic thing that is there is no such college which have particular course or specialization in purely family law. Family law is mandatory course offered in national law universities and other law schools. There is no such hard and fast rule of deciding particular college as best. Now, coming back to your question, I believe that since famous family law teacher, professor Poonam Pradhan Saxena is Vice chancellor of NLU, Jodhpur, it will give you the maximum advantage to learn family law. Besides this, NLSIU, Bangalore is also a pioneer in its family law expertise. Other top tier law schools like NALSAR- Hyderabad, WBNUJS-Kolkata, and NLIU- Bhopal also have good faculty to know the family law. I believe that law schools just tell you the limited face of family law and it is better that you do internship in family court in a District or under a lawyer, who deals with family matters in High court. Good luck.

Pursuing additional certificate course and Diploma with mainstream course has been the choice of academicians for the following reasons, firstly, it gives you more knowledge of the course you interests in.

In India, Family Law is the personal law of the person, which deals with the matter pertaining to a person and his or her family.
Hindu, Muslim, Christian and Parsi have their different personal law in India. Some of these laws are uncodified while some others are codified. Pursuing additional Diploma in Family Law helps you to understand the basics of marriage, divorce, maintenance, adoption, custody, guardianship, acknowledgement and successions, which in turn helps you a lot in your practice.
