Hi,
If you want to pursue your career in law after your Bachelors in commerce, you must go for LLB. After the liberalization of India's economy, there is a huge demand for highly skilled lawyers who are adept in the areas of mergers and acquisitions, banking and finance, infrastructure contracts, debt restructuring, FEMA regulations, IPRs, corporate governance, private equity deals, WTO law, etc. Law firms, both international as well as domestic, regularly recruit such lawyers in large numbers. Same is the case with big companies like TATA, Reliance, Infosys, Wipro, TCS, ICICI Bank, etc. The eligibility criteria for pursuing LLB is that you have to get minimum of 50% marks in your graduation degree and you might have to clear some entrance test with it, ( it may vary with the university you want to take admission in)
After LLB, you can appear for civil and judicial services in your respective states. IAS Services, JAGS, services in Army, Corporate Lawyer, Legal Advisors in MNCs and Company, Legal Processing outsourcing, Practice in Criminal, Civil or Income Tax as an Advocate. It will be advisable if you do your degree from a well known university that provides prime placement opportunity, outstanding exposure and professional enhancement training. I can enlist some university for your help-
Lovely Professional University, Punjab
Institute of Law, Kurukshetra University - Kurukshetra
K. L. E. Society's Law College
LJ Institute of Law-Ahmedabad
MS Ramaiah College of Law - Bangalore etc. I hope it helps.

Hi Sushil!
Being a paralegal can be rewarding, and many in the field find that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. However, before deciding on a career in the field, one should be aware of both the advantages and disadvantages of the job.
Advantages:
1. Helping People: Answering clients questions, assisting the attorney in coming up with solutions to their legal problems and holding clients hands though difficult situations can be quite rewarding to a paralegal that enjoys helping people.
2. Work Timing: Large law firms and corporations may require that paralegals work more than 40 hours per week, but most small firms are more flexible and require little to no overtime. However, no matter where you work as a paralegal, your hours will almost certainly be first shift hours, beginning between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. and ending sometime between 4:30 p.m. and 7 p.m., even with overtime. Paralegals often have flexible break and lunch times as well.
3. Salary and Benefits: While most paralegals do not start out making a lot of money or having great benefits as a paralegal, it is possible to work your way up to earning a very good living.
Disadvantages:
One of the biggest disadvantages of being a paralegal may be that there is very limited room for career advancement, particularly for those who work in small to medium-sized law firms. Smaller law firms may have a handful of paralegals with one or two holding the title of the office manager or senior paralegal, and no further opportunity for promotion.
Also, because paralegals cannot sign pleadings or briefs, or give legal advice of their own to clients, they may lose credit for much of the work that they do. Hence, there is a lack of respect and acknowledgement for a paralegal lawyer.
