Dear Sirs’, I am in my 3rd year of integrated 5 years law course. I was pondering over the options to make a successful career in law. I understand, we have Lower Judiciary, upper judiciary, PSU, Banks and Advocacy with a selection grade to Judiciary. The issue: Options: 1) Judiciary: Lower Judiciary - Given the trend, the selection for upper Judiciary is quite negligible and take a considerable amount of years of your life. 2) Upper Judiciary: India does not have process of selection to Additional Session Judge (ADJ) without completing 7 years of Advocacy to be eligible for ADJ. nor any National level Judiciary exam for such selection after passing from law school. 3) PSU: A mundane process of work like a corporate and not sure, how challenging or exciting as a career option. Just a time scale career stability. 4) Banks: Apart from RBI, which has another level of selection process - meaning quite an extent of separate study from present law course and is a rated option, the other banks law officer is again mundane as in PSU's. 5) Advocacy is something which 1st generation lawyers might need a best of mentors to make to selection grade of Judiciary. 6) Indian Laws firms and Magic circle : May pl guide on the process of internship in magic circle law firms and is it a good to have internship outside of India or better to have in Indian Law Firms. Given the above, what’s the best career move and options as this is one of the profession, wherein name and fame comes later in life, however adding a right career path just adds catalyst, then having instability in your prime years of life.

I am currently 4th Year BALLB law student, i initially wanted to study for judiciary but now seeing the real face and the excess amount of hard work with no guidnce that too with less than 1 % chance to qualify, i am not sure. Everyone is getting internship or working under lawyer. I am getting none, i am seriously confused what to do. They only want someone with prior experience. Advocacy is not my thing and i don't want to leave a law background. What should i do? I am so confused please help me

Hlo I am a 28 years old girl. Did PhD in chemistry and now pursuing LLB final year. I dont know what should I do in my career. As My mind sometimes say that I should prepare for UPSC or for Judiciary. I have also good command on my subject and will take test for professor’s govt job. But deep down I am not yet satisfied. Also in UPSC there is an issue of cadre allotment. Even if I work hard and get selected I may not get my home cadre that is haryana. So sometimes I think about attempting Delhi Judiciary Exam. But deep down there is still confusion that IAS bhot badi cheej maante hain log but Judge aur Professor ko itni value nahi milti . I am really confused. Need urgent guidance.

I am 50 plus, announcer in all India radio, I want to start my career as a lawyer, I have completed my LLB Hons in 2022.
