If you are just doing your schooling these days, and want to become a lawyer in India, that's a good thing. You have already made your mind for it. But next to it, you should also plan which degrees you need to have. Students of Science, commerce or arts stream can apply for a Bachelors degree in law, and then do Masters to become a lawyer. It would be good if you are pursuing your school with commerce stream. That helps. Also, you should start exploring more about different divisions of law you want to excel in. Make a career plan for yourself and then follow it. MUIT Noida - http://muitnoida.edu.in/ is a good college option for you.

Personal injury lawyers focus their practice on cases related to psychological or physical injuries, such as those caused by a negligent physician or a drunk driver. They work to ensure that their clients' rights are protected and that the client receives a fair settlement to compensate for his or her injuries. While most lawyers work on a full-time basis in an office setting, many work very long hours as they prepare for a case and may have to travel to meet with clients or other individuals related to a case. Most personal injury lawyers work for private practices. The first step to becoming a personal injury lawyer consists of earni

Yes. The practice of law is really about being a problem solver, and that often takes creativity. If you are a litigator, you need to be able to SEE an issue from all sides, and anticipate as many ways to approach it as possible knowing your opposing counsel will be doing the same. Settling cases takes creativity as well, as you are trying to find solutions that parties with opposing interests (and often emotionally charged interests) are able to accept. If you are looking for job prospective or career growth point of view one year LL. M. is advisable. Most of the colleges or the universities that offer courses in law have their own en

Dear student, Most of the everyday practice of law does not require much if any memorization. However, you are asking whether someone who isn't good at memorization can become a lawyer. To become an attorney in most states, you need to pass the bar exam. Unlike most law school exams, the bar is closed book. There are (at least in Illinois) three components: a writing exercise, a multiple choice test, and a set of essay questions. The essay questions would be most likely to trip up someone with poor memorization skills, because the candidate must state the elements of a wide range of legal tests before applying those elements to the fac

A lawyer is capable of earning several times more than any judge. A lawyer of certain standing, ie the ones capable of being considered for appointment as judge of the High Court, can earn far more as lawyers than they can ever earn as judges, even if they reach Supreme Court level. Becoming a judge brings with it a significant reduction of your earnings. However, what you gain in the process is a great deal of prestige, and the chance to actually make a difference. The position in society that a judge has is far greater than that of a lawyer, and the role he plays is also a lot greater. There is honor and dignity in the position that
