Mr. Ghosh’s journey towards Law and how he motivates students to pursue law as a profession

My journey towards law and in the legal profession generally has been filled with hurdles but at the same time has been an enjoyable one. I like to motivate students to take up a career in law by telling them in detail about the numerous career options that law students have apart from the conventional practice in courts or working as solicitors in law firms. I also tell them that a law student gets the opportunity to know something about everything as the is needed in all professions and at every step in life.

Top qualities that an aspiring lawyer must possess

An aspiring lawyer should have excellent fluency and command over English, should have the knack of doing research and enjoying uncovering new information , should be a voracious reader and should be a compassionate human being. Apart from this, every aspiring lawyer should have the urge to gain constant practical exposure and should keep improving their hard and soft skills through the opportunities provided to them during their undergraduate and postgraduate courses as the market does not want a “Jack of All Trades and Master of None” but a jack and master of at least one trade or area of specialization.

However, the most important suggestion for any aspiring law student till the last breath would be to keep himself updated with current affairs and know about what’s happening around them by reading at least one daily English newspaper. This helps in improving fluency in English and to enrich the knowledge of current affairs. My teachers used to tell me when I was a law student that “Law comes from many external sources other than just law books”.

Goals in mind for IFIM Law College for the next few years

In the next few years, till the time the first batch of IFIM Law College passes out in 2020 and also aim to provide them with a lot of exposure to external co-curricular and extra-curricular events as the only difference between a student of a national law school and that of IFIM Law College is exposure and opportunities. I also aim to encourage them to write articles and research papers on various contemporary issues of law as that will enhance their legal research skills and will expose them to various sources of research, thereby leading them to information which they may not get during their regular classes within the fixed hours of the classroom taught BBA LLB program.

Suggestions to the current youth and the aspiring students

My message to the youth, aspiring law students and lawyers would be to have the confidence to be a winner in life, not to take any shortcuts to the path of success and do everything diligently starting from attending classes to appearing for exams to doing research outside the regular curriculum. I would urge all those who are aspiring to join the legal profession to develop a habit and keep yourself updated with a daily dose of current affairs from the print and electronic media.
