Sir in this Profession one Big problem is for Ist Generation lawyer.
At initial stage joining a good senior advocate is a big challenge and neither BCI nor any senior take care of New born member of legal community and help him to stand in lieu of Financially , practical legal Knowledge.
Its very lacking point of legal profession. Its a eminent Profession but reality is quite different.
Hello Dear Legal Inspiration Channel Viewer!
Thank you for your comment.
*To quite an extent what you are saying is true. But then should a first-generation lawyer get discouraged by such things? If at all a first-generation lawyer has that passion and spirit to make a name for himself in the profession, nothing can stop him from overcoming such adversities. And such adversities are not really very difficult to overcome. With his own hard work, passion and commitment to his work and profession and towards the community, and by building his personality in a fine manner an aspiring first-generation lawyer can also definitely succeed in the profession. There are many live examples not only in our bar but also across the country of successful lawyers who were first-generation lawyers. So don't get discouraged by such circumstances.*
*Moreover there can be no compulsion for any already established practising lawyer to give a break to first-generation lawyer. But still they do generally help.*
*At the same time there is no rule that those who are second-generation or third-generation lawyers are always succeeding in the profession. Albeit it is true that because of help available from their parents their chances of success in the profession become higher, but still ultimately success mostly depends upon how much passion one has, how much hard work one is putting into his work, and how much dedication and commitment he is showing towards the profession and the legal community.*
*So have that fire in the belly and go ahead, don't get discouraged. My best regards to you.*

Happy to notice your comment!
It would all depend upon your objective! Have you felt passionate about becoming a litigation lawyer during your job years! Did that thought crop up in your mind time and again? These may be the indications which can give you some clue about exactly what you feel !
All the best!
I think, now I should obtain licence so that I would practice banking laws , which is my specialised area, after my retirement from banking. I am not interested in litigation. From Dhaka, Bangladesh
How one can be contributory guest lecture at law college while practicing?
By making an application as a Contributory Lecturer, and by managing your time.

Hello Sumit ji! Nice to know that you are an Advocate. Will sure guide you to improve communication skills.
Sir as I'm in my 1st year of college.
Is it really important to be from a famous or a renowned law college to be a successful lawyer.
I'm doing my law from Gujarat University.
In litigation it doesn't even matter! In corporate it matters a little bit though!
nice info sir, which means litigation lawyer means , he need to deal with criminal cases and civil cases ?? is`t it sir ?? please replay sir ,
A litigation lawyer is a legal professional who specializes in representing clients in lawsuits or legal disputes. These disputes can involve a wide range of issues, such as contract disputes, personal injury claims, employment conflicts, and more. Litigation lawyers are responsible for managing all aspects of the legal process, including taking instructions from client, drafting the case, filing case or application, conducting depositions, and representing their clients in court by arguing the case.
Litigation lawyers can specialize in, but not restricted to, civil cases, criminal cases, or both, depending on their practice area. Civil litigation lawyers handle cases between individuals or organizations seeking legal remedies for disputes, while criminal litigation lawyers represent clients accused of committing crimes.
So, a litigation lawyer deals primarily with legal disputes and represents clients in court proceedings. They can specialize in civil cases, criminal cases, or both, aur any other area like labour laws, tax laws etc. depending on their area of expertise.

Sir please can you tell something about solicitor lawyer ?
I want to do and no one is there to help me .
Dear Prathmesh Deshpande,
I'm glad that you are interested in pursuing a career as a solicitor lawyer.
With whatever limited information I have, let me tell you that a solicitor is a legal professional who provides legal advice and assistance to clients, and handles legal matters such as drafting legal documents, negotiating and settling disputes, and representing clients in court.
In India, the role of a solicitor is particularly important in the Bombay High Court, where they are recognized as officers of the court. The solicitors in Bombay are authorized to practice in the Bombay High Court and the lower courts, and they play a vital role in the administration of justice.
If you are interested in becoming a solicitor lawyer, I would recommend that you research and gather more information about the legal profession in India, the requirements for becoming a solicitor, and the duties and responsibilities of a solicitor.
You can also visit this link blog.ipleaders.in/role-of-a-solicitor-in-bombay/ which provides a detailed explanation of the role of a solicitor in Bombay and the process of becoming a solicitor.
I hope that this information helps you in pursuing your career goals. Best of luck!

I've found the point "Hectic life"
Yes! True! But if a lawyer enjoys his work, there is nothing hectic. Work becomes play.
Hi sir
This is Devi Priya, am also advocate
I am from andhra pradesh
I started practicing recently
Sir pls make videos regarding cross examination, arguments, selection of citations.
Pls make those videos sir
Hi Devi Priya! Thanks for your comment! I will sure give a thought to your suggestions. My best wishes.
Hi DeviPriya Vooka
I'm glad to receive your response.
Please accept my apology for replying very late to you.
Happy to know that you also belong to my fraternity. How are you doing ? Are you enjoying the profession? The most important thing that I feel any junior should have is to you enjoy his or her work as a professional lawyer. So one has to keep on finding ways and means of enjoying the work as a lawyer if one is not naturally enjoying it. Wise people in the profession have already recorded that a lawyer has to live like a hermit and work like a horse. that is literally true, but with that also comes deep satisfaction and joy. My best wishes are with you. If you need any guidance about legal profession please feel free to contact me.
I hope you liked the video that I posted. I will sure give a serious thought to your suggestion regarding the topics on which I should make videos for young advocates.
Best regards.

Sir I am CA final STUDENT AND LAW GRADUATE SIR I WANT TO BE TAXATION LAWYER. SIR WHAT IS THE SCOPE OF TAXATION LAWYER.
Hello!
I do not practice on tax side. But what I hear from other quarters, there is always good scope to practice on tax side.
Really Sir it is great video
I m practicing in Sangli District Court since 2010
Due to this lockdown period i felt what will happen in future
But your golden and inspiring thoughts make me confident and i think i have to keep Patience 👍
Hiii
Hello sir, I belong to Mumbai. I've just got finished with my last semester's exam of 3 years LL.B from a prestigious law institution.
I'm a first generation lawyer, and looking to join as an intern before I get the sanad which will take good amount of time.
One thing which is really disappointing is, i have met few advocates with good experience and name in the field of law. I am a fresher but the moment I share my career choice of being a criminal advocate in the future, they say it's not a field for women.
What is this behaviour and way of encouraging a fresher only because a belong to a specific gender?
The law degree and syllabus was same for everybody but what makes these advocates think a woman can't take bail, can't face criminals, can't stand in the crowd of men??????
Why they don't see us as a professional person but as their daughters, sisters, and what not and try to protect when the person only is asking for guidance and not protection.
I believe things might change in future but this attitude towards female law professionals is just disgusting and shameful.
We work really hard, not to hear what a women can't do without even giving her an opportunity to prove what she can.
I request you to please give some guidance or put some light on it. How to handle such senior advocates and how to understand whom should we work without getting unwanted suggestions and opinions?
Hello Shivangi!
Thanks for sharing your experience and pain in the comment. I read your post carefully. The first thing that I must say is that I salute your spirit..... the spirit of doing something substantial in the field of criminal law in legal profession.
Having read your post the thing that surprised me most was even in a cosmopolitan city like Mumbai, a woman was discouraged from choosing to become a criminal law advocate/practitioner in the legal field. I am not from Mumbai. But I always believed that a place like Mumbai offers great opportunity for both men and women equally.
I can feel the pain which is reflected in your post when you were advised that the field of criminal law practice is not a field for women. I personally do not subscribe to that view at all.
I do not really know exactly for what reasons those who advised you against choosing the field of criminal law practice, advised you so. I think you should have asked them the exact reasons as to why they were saying so, because as you said those where renowned names in the field of criminal law and therefore they must be possessing a good deal of experience and must be speaking so on the basis of their experience. So it would have been better to have probed a bit as to what exactly weighed in their minds when they discouraged you even in a place like Mumbai.
Let me tell you, I also faced the same situation, here in Nagpur. When I became a fresh lawyer, I had almost decided to embark upon a career in the field of criminal law practice. I had developed a great interest in sessions trials, as during my student days I had observed so many criminal trials and was greatly impressed by the art of cross examination of eminent lawyers. The intellectual challenge involved in conducting a criminal case attracted me greatly. However, when I expressed this desire to my father, who himself was a criminal lawyer, he discouraged me, even when I was a man, even at a place like Nagpur. He explained to me on the basis of his experience his reasons for advising me so. He encouraged me to follow a different path. Eventually I was convinced and decided to start practising at high court.
That is why I am entertaining a possibility that those eminent lawyers who advised you against choosing to become a criminal law practitioner must be having some reasons, and I feel that rather than prejudging that they were only gender biased, you should be open to at least know those reasons.
Anyways ! What I say is that in spite of whatever reasons they share with you, if your desire is strong..... very very strong..... then that advise need not either disturb you or deter you from pursuing your desired field. Ultimately it is your life, your career. It cannot be made dependent upon the opening of the third party. It is entirely your personal choice.
There are examples where women are also doing good in the field of criminal law, but I've seen them on appellate side.
As you said it is true that the law degree and syllabus are same for everybody. But I would add that the practicalities of life can also not be ignored. When you embark upon your law practice in the field of criminal law, you will be mostly dealing with entirely different class of people, and your clientele may mostly consist of not so sophisticated, not so well mannered class of people (except of course when you're dealing with the clientele of anticorruption cases which consists mostly of service class people). But when it comes to serious crimes like murder, rape and other kinds you will have to deal with entirely different class. Another aspect is that for generating work on the criminal side one has to develop a lot of connections with say police, jail authorities, agents, touts and even criminals. And thirdly, as you go on practising you will be developing deep connections with such kinds of people, which, one doesn't know where it will lead to? And that too in a city like Mumbai. Will you be in a position to handle all that effectively? It is one thing to see such things being handled effectively by women lawyers in movies, but it is another to actually experienced them in real life. Probably considering these facts those seniors might be advising you against your choice. Just my guess.
These are some thoughts that I felt like sharing with you, having felt your pain in your post. Ultimately it is entirely your choice what to go for. I really don't know exactly what to suggest to you. Give a thought to building a mixed practice on both civil as well as criminal side. This might satisfy your desire of practising on criminal side to some extent, and also avoiding the pitfalls involved in it, and at the same time having civil side practice to fall back upon in case you choose to give up your criminal law practice. Have a taste of it first and then take a decision. I would say that even a civil side offers great intellectual challenge for a law practitioner, if that is what attracts you to criminal law practice. But as I said this is just a suggestion which struck me. The choice is entirely yours.
Whatever you choose to go for, my best regards are with you.
- Adv. Nahush Khubalkar -
@@LegalInspiration Firstly, I thank you for replying to my questions. It means a lot for me, that you took your precious time to give your suggestions in such depth. I am much obliged.
I come from a decent middle class family, in my family no one holds even a 10th certificate, me choosing to do law was a nightmare to them. I always wanted to do law, as it was my dream.
Sadly, my father opposed to this decision, ofcourse he had limited knowledge about the education world and the societal fear who will marry an advocate women ????!!! It's not a safe field, I'll have to gather more dahej for people to accept her, why does she want to spoil her career and life ?!
I was adamant to my decision, in response to that he disowned me in a very dramatic way, well i understand his fear. He refused to pay any of my expenses. and stopped talking to me as if i don't exist.
I had no choice, but to arrange finance. I applied to a corporate via an NGO and fortunately got the job. I joined there as an intern later was offered a full-fledged job. My father secretly went in my room and kept my card in his pocket, well he was proud of me. and i guess that was enough for me.
It was in an international firm, at the age of 21 i was at a good position and met big tycoons, had meetings with them, i trained more then 5000+ foreigners, interns, students, teachers, and what not. It was all a roller coaster ride for me. I did it on my own !! hard work pays off, and in my case it paid me really well.
After arranging enough money, I had already given my CET entrance, cracked the exam, got the seat and admission, paid my fees on my own. Isn't it's the best feeling ??? I was on top of the world.
Not showing off, but i managed to be the second topper in all my semester's of my law school, well only because I was always passionate to study law.
Now, coming to the second thing which is knowing the perspective and reason behind the suggestions of my seniors and advocates.
Yes, i was given many reasons for why I shouldn't do or pursue what I want to.
The reasons where such as follows:
1. It's not a safe field for women.
2. You'll have to face evil minded and criminals.
3. You'll get scared of such people.
4. You won't be able to manage to take a bail.
5. You can't stay out late at night.
6. There are disgusting seniors in criminal litigation, they will harass you, take advantage of you, they will spoil your life and career. You won't be safe with them, they will have an affair with you.
7. You won't continue in this field, mostly women get married and leave their jobs. You'll exist maximum five years in this field.
8. Join corporate it's safe and you don't need to work hard their, work and earn money, enjoy.
9. Women don't become successful lawyers because they have responsibilities in their heads.
10. You have to work hard, and mostly women can't work this hard.
So, in all this suggestions may be i might be an idiot that i couldn't find any logic and practicality. 🧐
I will tell you why I felt that this suggestions and reasons where biased and sexist.
Forget about me for a minute, on the other hand I have my male friend who's a topper too, the same people and professor who gave me their precious suggestions are eagerly waiting him to join them saying " yeh toh humara hi aadmi hai, humara hi beta hai, you have our backs, jaldi degree khatam karo, tumko kaam pe lagana hai, i promise in just 2 years we will make you stand in the high court".
Abh beti bacha bhi lo, padha bhi lo, beti ka Career banao scheme ???? 🥲
I did an international event in my law school where I brought an international guest from UK working with UNESCO. But i can't get a bail ?! 🥲
Now, coming to the third thing.
I am not rigid about criminal litigation only, i am open to everything.
After all I am a fresher , i can't have such huge demands. That's not sensible at all.
I am currently looking to join a corporate and civil litigation as an intern, learn and take knowledge and ofcourse i need to earn now. 🥲 But i am hopeful I'll get soon.
The only thing which made me feel disgusted is their thoughts, we talk about laws and regulations about equality and equal opportunities to all. Art 21, Art 16, Art 15, Art 14 but on ground the advocate says me yeh vishaka waala case bas books main hota hai, in real you can't fight if you get harrassed.
Forget about equal opportunities, these people are against it if we say yes we can put equal efforts and frankly speaking more efforts than anyone.
The difference between guidance and illogical, unreal, impractical thoughts are huge to me.
Not that, i didn't speak to female professor, which was hardly 1.
She has her own reasons, she is struggling with the same things. And i wonder how many of them struggle everyday.
For others it's the struggle to learn the skills and knowledge.
For us, the biggest struggle is to explain and make people believe that we have brains and we are capable to do things irrespective of what a man/woman can do and ofcourse need to work hard on ourselves as well.
Now, I can explain these things to you but to survive one needs money, i can't give this reasons to my family.
But I also know, i am not gonna give up not today, not tomorrow.
Har insaan ka din aata hai, main toh fhirbhi rebellious and rigid hoon Mera toh aana hi aana hai. 🤭 I never get scared to work hard an never will.
Lastly, please don't mind my words, i felt like you are a sensible person you will understand my point of view and you proved me right.
Sir, guidance with reasons is what you gave me just now. And i am going to be grateful to you for your words of wisdom.
Fortunately today is guru poornima and i got one more guru to guide me.
I feel enlightened and blessed, happy guru poornima 🙏🏵️😀
Thank you 🙏 god bless you.
Hello Shivangi!
In fact I had composed a response to your post just two days before when I was sitting inside the courtroom. But before I could finish it my case was called out and I had to appear before the court. My reply just vanished.
What an incredible story you shared. A story of dogged determination to make it in this world. Reading your story I was quite impressed. You are a real inspiration for others. There appears to be a very sensitive, sensible, intelligent, promising and a strongly determined woman behind that post of yours. Felt very happy to know that your father ultimately felt proud of you.
I remember a quote: "When a dream is strong, facts don't count". With the expression of your strong determination to succeed you have already won the battle more than half.
I would like to meet you someday if possible, during my visit to Mumbai, or to talk to you, if it's okay with you.
I do not know whether I deserve it or not but I respect your gesture of giving me the status of a Guru. 🙏🏼 It has always been my feeling that one generation must always share its knowledge, skills and experience to the upcoming generation so that continuity is maintained from generation to generation for the benefit of society. That is why with whatever be possible I do not hesitate to share such things with younger people especially in my profession.
Good that you shared your thoughts and your pain and your inspiring journey. That way I came to know a wonderful person.
So be in touch. Keep sharing your inspiring experiences. Excel in your life. My best wishes are always with you.
- Adv. Nahush Khubalkar -
@@LegalInspiration I absolutely agree to your thoughts. I personally follow this famous quote of respected Sir Abdul Kalam which says "Accept your past without regret, handle your presence with confidence, and face your future without fear"
Taking forward your thoughts, I am a strong believer that all the generations should work together for a better future. Irrespective of the any field, a senior should not forget that once he/she was a fresher so they must have an attitude of teaching rather than putting him/herself on a superior position and on the other hand a fresher should not take the learnings of his seniors for granted or hesitate to work with open mind to learn new things. Learning and skills go hand in hand if practiced without any hesitation and doubts.
It will be my pleasure to meet you as soon as possible, i would not leave any chance to learn from you sir. I will share all my details on LinkedIn, you can call me anytime before planning or after coming to Mumbai. Hopefully, i will meet you at Bombay High Court.
It was nice talking to you, I look forward to meet you and share, learn, exchange our thoughts and ideas.
See you soon!
Thanking you with regards,
SHIVANGI SINGH
