Shiksha Top Questions

Hi,
To become a commercial lawyer, first, you need to have a law degree from an institution recognized by the Bar Council of India. After that, you would need to register yourself to obtain a license to practice law.
Commercial law is one of the most interesting areas of law as it involves a lot of subject matter and a lot of diverse areas. You need to have a fair idea of commercial law to be a commercial lawyer. You can get this through the course taught in the law school. For more insights, you can pursue a credit course or diploma in this area of law. A Masters in this area of law would help provide you with much need insights and practical knowledge. In the five year law program, the last year generally deals with specialization. So, you can pursue courses dealing with commercial law to specialize in that area of law.

Hi,
Both the law colleges that you mentioned are good but if you ask for the better one my suggestion would be D.Y. Patil School of law over Siddharth Law College.
This is because D.Y Patil School of Law has a very good campus with a very good faculty and also the academic activities conducted at this law school are said to be better than that in Siddharth Law college.
D.Y. Patil also has a very well maintained library with a very good number of books which prove to be very helpful for the students.
On the other hand, Siddharth Law College has a less rating as compared to D.Y Patil Law College.
Moreover D.Y. Patil Law College has been rated well for best private law colleges in Maharashtra as well as in India.
So on these points, I would go with D.Y Patil School of Law over Siddharth Law college which is also good college.
Hope this information helps you.
Feel free to revert for any queries, information or details regarding the same.
All the very best!

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.

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 real estate and infrastructure law but I pursue competition law after my law school. I would not be working with that zeal or enthusiasm as compared to real estate and infrastructure 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. Labour and employment-related things may be one of the aspects of the company. What has the better scope? I think both of these are too diverse fields and have a lot of subject matters within. Competiton law is governed by a legislation but there are several legislations for real estate and infrastructure. It is very difficult to come to a conclusion as to what area of law has a wider scope. I would go with competition law but. Although the growth of real estate industry is phenomenal, competition law has wider scope in the sense that it is not just restricted to one field but extends to competition-related issues in various sectors.

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.

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.

I would say take up Lady Shri Ram. I have a friend who studied humanities in Lady Shri Ram, and frequently interacted with students from Ramjas. And there is a major difference between these two.
Lady Shri Ram has an advantage- it is located in South Campus, far away from the hustle and bustle of North Campus. A lot of people believe it to be a disadvantage, but I believe for studying History it is an advantage. Why? Because Lady Shri Ram is never directly affected by any rapid or random change in Delhi University. It also has a great library, and sometimes Ramjas students need to ask LSR girls for books which they were unable to find in their own library.
LSR has a great faculty, which concentrates on grooming the individual, making them conscious about history and historical writing. It also has a strong Students Union which organizes a great history fest, Antiquity, has a close interaction with Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) School of Social Sciences (which is near LSR) and also has tie-ups with INTACH, Dastangoi, etc.
If you want to feel the discipline, learn History without putting a commercial element to it, then go to LSR. As a woman, LSR is a liberating sphere, it gives you much more than just education. It is also the leading college of the country now, for a reason.
The statistics speak, so do the experience of students. I think you should take these into account while deciding where to study humanities.

Hey.
I think more than the scope, the interest of an individual matter for success in a particular area of law. Let's say, for example, I am interested in Taxation Law but I I pursue criminal law after my law school. I would not be working with that zeal or enthusiasm as compared to taxation 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. Let's say, avoiding taxes or not disclosing proper income would be a criminal offense. So, apart from the knowledge of tax law, you would also need to know fundamentals of criminal law in order to help out your client. There are several law firms which specialize in either of these. So, if you are not looking for independent practice, you can join these. But the scope of criminal law is generally wider than tax law considering each area of law has some intersection with the criminal law in some form or the other.
