Lawyer

Dear Student, 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 one gets as a judge which one cannot get as a lawyer. In terms of work, the perspectives may differ. Some people may get greater satisfaction out of arguing cases and advising people while others may get more satisfaction out of deciding matters and actually making a difference in the world works. If you want to kick start a successful career in law, it is important to get admission into a good law college. There are a number of top law colleges in India that you can apply for, but you should know the admission process. Most of the colleges or universities that offer courses in law have their own entrance examinations. One of the most recognised examinations is CLAT which stands for the Common Law Entrance Test. The test score of CLAT is accepted by major universities as well as law colleges in India. There are multiple universities from where you can do 5-year LL.B. Like IILM University Gurugram offers BBA LL.B. & B.A. LL.B. & LL. M. with Moot Court Internship, Seminar, Workshops, Experiential Learning along with Inter-Disciplinary Curriculum.

A lawyer can serve in several roles. Here are some examples, but in practice most lawyers do more than one of these, sometimes even simultaneously:
1. A Lawyer is an Advocate
Here, by advocate, I mean somebody who tries to advance their clients interests in some way, typically involving (at least to some extent) persuasion. The classic example is in court, especially in something like closing arguments: a lawyer advocates for their client by persuading the judge or jury that their client deserves to win their case.
2. A Lawyer is a Counselor
This is more behind closed doors. The role of a counselor isn't to persuade, its to advise. Often, a client calls up a lawyer and says: So and so just happened. I want to end up with an outcome like such and such. What are my options? This is the typical case where a lawyer steps into a counseling role.
3. A Lawyer is a Mediator / Neutral Third Party
Additionally, there are alternative dispute resolution options that involve a private lawyer who serves in the role of a judge. The advantage over the court system is that its often cheaper.
4. NegotiatorAn advocate has to convince some authority on some point of law. A negotiator has to find an acceptable stopping point for two parties whose interests only partially overlap (if they overlap at all).
5. Guardian
From time to time, a lawyer ends up in custody of property, documents, information, or even people.

Dear Student, If you are considering law school, you are taking the initial step toward a potentially rewarding career in the legal profession. A legal education can be one of the most challenging and fulfilling endeavours an individual will pursue in their lifetime. There are many potential reasons on why one may choose to attend law school. Learning the skills of a lawyer and then using them in practice is the most common reason. However, some may simply be interested in the complexities of the law and seek to learn more about it. Still others are motivated to enter law school to effect change through government, interest groups, or other non-profit organizations. The legal profession is generally rewarding both personally and financially. A person with a background in legal education can, in additional to practicing law, turn to other fields such as teaching, business, and advocacy. ELIGIBILTY CRITERIA

Dear student, Most lawyers are likely employees, either of law firms or of corporations (in-house Lawyers). These will be paid a salary, like any other employee. Beyond that, partners in a law firm are generally divided into two categories, salaried partners and equity partners. The former usually have more certainty over their income (they receive a fixed share of the firms income or profits as a salary), but have a greater say in/ responsibility for the running of the firm than employees. The latter are effectively the owners of the firm, having a share of the equity. They generally have the most control over how the firm is run, and draw their income from the profits the firm makes. If the firm isn't profitable, they don't get paid. Some lawyers also work individually, these will either be as sole traders, I. e. self-employed status, or perhaps they will incorporate a limited company in which they own all the shares. In this scenario, the former eat what they kill, so everything they earn is theirs, whilst the latter will need to draw a salary and/or dividends from the company.
