9 Things All Law Students Encounter Once in Their Life

You know almost 50,000 students apply for CLAT every year hoping to become lawyers. While there are highly esteemed career prospects which students aspire for, the reality is far different from these expectations. We understand how badly you felt cheated. All your screaming dreams were quashed soon enough as you started your legal education.

Now all your life revolves around just those notes and criminal law lectures. Moot courts try to swing your moods, but you know the only thing you want now is some sleep. Getting some sleep really gets difficult when half your time goes in YPs and MUNs and half in those hectic lectures.

Law students do face a lot of stereotypes. From people seeking legal advice all the time to people imagining a revolutionary rebel in you, law students go through a lot of stuff. We bring to you 9 things that all the law students will relate to.

1. Reading

There is a hell of a lot of reading. More than that, the engineering style doesn’t work for you. No last night study buddy, you need to clock up all those library hours.

2. Everybody Asks You for Legal Advice

The one thing which irritates you most is that every other guy keeps asking you legal advice. Only you know how much you have studied and how miserably you are gonna fail them.

3. Law is Not Just About Constitution

One misconception all non-lawyers hold is that legal education is only about the Indian Constitution. Well, you feel such a strong urge to smack them down and stir them in the cauldron full of company law and history of law textbooks.

4. YPs and MUNs

The only places you get to flaunt your knowledge are the Youth Parliaments and the Model United Nations conferences. After all, you know you won’t get any other chance to scream like that. We know how satisfying that feels when you give that marvelous speech in front of the entire committee.

5. A Different Language

Neither English nor Hindi, legal books are composed of a totally different language. Intestate, Subpoena, Bifurcation, get ready to meet all of them. They might appear to be gibberish at first, but you need to deal with all of them.

6. Law Education Changes You Totally

This you must surely agree with. Whatever kind of naive or harmless kid you came, your bachelor’s in law has totally changed you and your perspective upon the world.

7. Procrastination

With so much of assignments and other tasks, it gets really laborious to complete all of them. At such a time, the only pleasure comes when your entire peer procrastinates the work.

8. Sleep

You prioritize sleep over going out to have fun. Getting sleep is a tedious task for you, but you manage to find the needle in that haystack.

9. You Dream Case

Be honest. At least once in your life, you have imagined delivering an epic speech in the well of the court. You still hope and wait for that day. We wish you all the best.

Studying law is hectic indeed, but the rewards are fascinating too. After tones of assignments and sessions spanning so many years, the course brings out the true personality hidden inside you. These troubles aren’t going anywhere but you will surely relish them in the future.
