Formula To Choose A Career In Law
Channel: MentorTalk
Date: 2022-08-24

The legal or law profession in India has witnessed numerous changes over the years. Lawyers are no longer confined only to the courtrooms. Lawyers and law graduates today work in a variety of settings, including corporations, IT firms, administrative services, print and electronic media, public sector undertakings, private enterprises, legislature, executive, judiciary, law firms, and corporate houses. The list is endless. But how to make a career choice in law. The law as a career offers several options and there are only two ways to look at it – one is through the (a) lens of commercials i.e. remuneration. If your driving factor is money - the level of earnings is very important. And there is nothing wrong with choosing money as your priority BUT then you have to prepare yourself for private practice in lucrative areas, joining a good, big and busy law firm or aiming to become a General Counsel with some large corporation. The second lens is the (b) choice or prioritisation of the nature of work. To some people, accomplishment comes with the passion for doing the work they always wanted to do regardless of high earnings or not. For instance, if you want to join the judiciary, there isn’t much money but certainly stature, you want to become human rights lawyer or an academician - money is less but perhaps satisfaction is more. It is a personal choice. There are some lucky ones who love doing work which is highly rewarding commercially. That number is small. It is a very subjective discussion. But my final advise to all law students and young law graduates would be to introspect – take a short break connect with your inner self and identify as to what are your long-term goals, what kind of life, activity and work excites you and will give you a sense of accomplishment. Then work only building small blocks in that direction. It is your life – Hence, it has to be your decision - a thought through considered decision – don’t rushup.
