Introduction

Why Study Law? 

There are several advantages of being a Legal professional. The skills learned at Law School are applicable in a wide array of professions. Lawyers today aren't just taught the tenets of the Law; they are taught to lead the world. The ability to make decisions based on facts and reasoning, rather than emotions is an integral part to success in the legal world and holds even more value out of the court room.

Actually, a legal education is one of the most flexible, diverse and useful advance degrees available today.

A legal education teaches discipline, negotiation, dispute resolution, leadership, interviewing, communication and analysis. It instills the kind of work ethic employers value.

A law school degree changes how people think, how they approach problems, and how they present themselves and their ideas.

A legal education is about much more than the law. It's also about managing complexity in a world that is getting more complicated every day!

The training, skills, knowledge and overall mind-set gained through a legal education can be applied to every professional endeavor. Those who receive a legal education know how to handle high volumes of work, are skilled in complex research, and know how to ask substantive questions that get to the point. A legal education is about critical thinking, work ethic, and managing conflict.

Gone are the days when a Lawyer had to choose a career in either Criminal or Civil. Corporate, Commercial, Mediation, Human Rights, Intellectual Property Rights, Environment, Cyber and many more options are open to a Law school graduate.

The IITs and IIMs are not the only schools in the country to go to get top jobs. Law School graduates now earn salaries on par (and often exceeding) the best offered in Business Schools or Engineering Colleges. Beyond being an established lawyer, there are no geographical boundaries for a great legal mind. Options are open at the United Nations / International Court of Justice and more.

Today's young legal minds leave Law School with the aspiration to not just rake in the big bucks, but also to make a difference. Should you be the type who cares, you can engineer a change in society by fighting for the rights of those who can't defend themselves - children, refugees and the poor to name a few.
