International Law

Hey,
The importance of International Humanitarian Law in the present day context cannot be highlighted. From the displacement of people to ethnic cleansing, most of the problems affecting countries involve international Humanitarian Law. For eg, the rehabilitation and resettlement of displaced people from Syria to whether Rohingyas should be deported or not, all of these are the major questions which fall under the ambit of International Humanitarian Law. With increasing international co-operation among countries and a large number of treaties and conventions being signed, specializing in International Humanitarian Law would provide you the platform to provide to legitimate answers to these questions. Further, you get to work with a lot of International Organisations including UN and World Bank. Pursuing a diploma or certificate course would help you with the enriching and invaluable knowledge you need in the subject and work beyond boundaries.

Hey,
Pursuing a diploma in any of the course has several benefits of its own. These range from getting additional insight into that area of law to plus point in CV which would further help in getting jobs. If you plan on pursuing a certificate/diploma/ PG diploma course in International Trade law, the first and foremost benefit would be your additional knowledge in that subject area of law. There might be the case that in your normal Degree Program, the course might not have been covered in that length or some new insights were not provided to you. In this regard, the diploma or a certificate course would help will that void. Secondly, if you want to specialize in International Trade Law, the certificate or Diploma would help you hone your skills in this area. Thirdly, you could pursue the certificate, Diploma course together with your Degree program, so it would not require extra time. Fourthly, you can mention about this course in your CV while appearing for a job interview. It would certainly be a consideration for the interviewers while evaluating your CV.
Lastly, I think diploma and certificate courses are really helpful and enriching.

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 international trade law but I pursue banking law after my law school. I would not be working with that zeal or enthusiasm as compared to international trade 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. We have several legislations that govern aspects related to banking and same is the case with international trade law which is not governed by one legislation. With increasing globalization and market knowing no boundaries as well as increased inter-country and inter-continental trade, international trade law has more scope than banking law.

Hey there,
Talking of the scope and the reasons why I believe both the two fields of law have a scope in their own fields.
Both, the environmental law and humanitarian law have been a cause of action, and we get to see a number of contemporary issues regarding them for eg. Rohingya crisis these days is one such instance falling within humanitarian law. Also, the smog caused by factories nearby Delhi, falls within Environmental laws.
Also, there have been various known matters with regard to environment taken up by Medha Patkar, while Narmada Bachao Andolan and M.C Mehta also.
Also, for humanitarian laws killing of civilians in Kashmir, surgical strikes etc. fall within the ambit of humanitarian laws.
Thus, there arise a number of issues pertaining to both set of laws.
Also, owing to industrialization as well as globalization, the scope of cause of action arising in both the fields is very likely. It would be a matter of choice for an individual to go for practicing in humanitarian law or environmental law and believe me you would not repent your decision of taking up either of them.

I think by better scope you mean better income, so here is the comparison:
Corporate law
According to the United States Bureau of Labour Statistics, the projected job growth for corporate lawyers is 6% (2014-2024) and their median annual salary is $ 1,15,000.
In India, after completing a course in corporate law, you can be hired by a business firm or a large MNC at a good salary package.
The starting salary depends on your skills and from which college you have completed your course. In general, you may get anywhere Rs. 25000 to 45000 per month. After some experience, you can easily get Rs. 50,000 to 1,00,000.
International trade law
According to the payscale.com, in 2016, international trade specialists made a median annual salary of $62,641 and the job growth is same as corporate lawyers.
In India, lawyers in this field are very less in number and this will give you the advantage to earn and in the beginning, you may earn from INR 40,000 to 60,000 per month and after some experience, it may go up to 15-20 LPA.
Salary packages shall vary on different factors like company, education, candidates skills, work experience, etc.
So which one has a better scope that you should decide based on your interests.
