Not even a decade back, law was the last resort for graduates. Thoughts of lawyers in black coats seated in dingy courtrooms would send shivers down any self respecting individual. But, careers in law have taken a turn for the better. Now, lawyers work in swanky corporate offices and work for corporates as varied as media, insurance, banks, FMCG or become partners/associates in law firms.

So, if you have good communication skills, both oral and written, are fond of reading, can convince others easily, have a logical way of thinking so that you are able to look at matters objectively and come to your own conclusions, then this is the career for you. And if you are smart, suave and ready to voice your opinion, then this is the career for you.

Setting up of National Law Schools/Universities (NLUs), five-year integrated LL.B. courses right after class 12, world class education and admission through Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) have helped the cause. With 14 NLUs and about 1,700 seats at the LLB level, CLAT attracts the best students with placements in the best law firms around the world. No wonder the NLUs have provided 100 per cent placements since their inception and today, they compete with Harvard, Oxford, Yale, NUS, and the like.

Careers

The biggest recruiters are Indian and international law firms, consultancies, corporate, NGOs, Legal Process Outsourcing companies and government organisations. Students passing out from the National Law Schools/Universities get average placements at Rs. 6-10 lakh per annum.
