i want to become a criminal lawyer recently i done 12 board paper .just waiting for result now i can understand what can i do now .please
To become acriminal lawyerin india, one has to be graduate in any stream and should possess LLB from a good reputed college to maintain the status quo.
You need to be ready to work tirelessly for long hours.One not only has to prepare to argue the case in court but also interact with the police and other investigating agencies.
One has to be ready for phone calls at any time in the night (or day) since personal liberty, its deprivation through arrest or detention have no time! Also at the start of a criminal case, the clients are desperate for relief and there may be a quick change of lawyers which can be quite disheartening. One has to be ready to face all these issues that can happen at any stage of ones career.
To become a successfulcriminal lawyer, one needs to be dedicated, willing to put in hard work, have tonnes of stamina and loads of perseverance. These four qualities and integrity are fundamental to a successful career in criminal law. People believe that criminal law involves limited drafting and that the workload is not heavy. But be it a trial strategy, a bail or a cross-examination, one has to put in long hours of research before work begins in court. If you are not dedicated to this profession, this may not be the right career for you.
Anyone who wants to become a successful criminal lawyer should do a masters degree in ­criminal law or criminology and also have a fair understanding of forensics - scientific tests or techniques used in connection with the detection of crime.
In short :
- Complete a Bachelor's Degree Program- a bachelor's degree is the minimum educational requirement for admission to law school.
- Pass the Law School Admission Test.
- Identify Law Schools and Complete Applications.
- Earn a Juris Doctor Degree.
- Pass the Bar Examination.
- Advance Your Career.
Hope this helps

Can 3yrs correspondence llb is worth with cs course?
Hey Shibin.
This is a very absurd choice and moreover the eligibility for persuing 3 year LLB is:
The candidate must have completed the Bachelors degree program from a recognized University with a minimum of 45% aggregate marks.
Admission are based on either entrance exam or marks obtained in the qualifying exam, whatever the admission norms of the Institution of concern. Some of the Universities considers candidates with a minimum of 50% aggregate marks in the qualifying exams.
Candidates who have completed their Bachelors degree from a recognized University through distance mode are also eligible. However, candidates who have obtained Bachelors degree directly without having passed the +2 level of exam or any basic qualification for prosecuting such studies are not eligible for admission in the law courses.
LLB is not a side course which one can opt besides any other bachelors program.
Hope this helps. All the best.
I AM CONFUSED BETWEEN COMMERCIAL LAW?, CIVIL LAW?, AND BUSINESS LAW? AND WHEN DO WE STUDY THOSE IN LLB OR LLM?
Hi Mayank, thanks a lot for your very interesting question.
Law can be broadly classified into Criminal law and Civil Law. Criminal law deals with behavior that is or can be considered as an offense against the public or the society—even if the immediate victim is an individual. Examples are murder, assault, theft, and drunken driving.
Civil law deals with behavior that constitutes an injury to an individual or other private party, such as a corporation. Examples are defamation, breach of contract, negligence and property damage. (for a detailed comparison, check out this link - https://www.britannica.com/story/what-is-the-difference-between-criminal-law-and-civil-law )
Having understood the above difference, here's a quick question – under which of the above two categories would you place Business law and commercial law? If you said, Civil Law, you are correct!
Commercial law focuses on the sale and distribution of goods, as well as financing of certain transactions. Business law focuses on the other aspects of business, including forming a company, mergers and acquisitions, shareholder rights, and property issues such as leasing office or warehouse space. A business that sells products will almost certainly need a lawyer with experience in both of these fields. These two fields of law have so many overlaps that some people now-a-days use the two terms synonymously.
what are the packages of top 10 law school for commercial lawyers?
Hi, It will be difficult to tell you about all the colleges individually about the colleges and their packages. So in general the average package after studying from top law colleges can range from 6-8 lacs. It depends on the skills and experience incase you have. Good Luck.
What does commercial law relates to?
Hello Aspirant,
Hope your doing good,
The term commercial law has no fixed meaning in India. ... This paper, however, deals with the Indian contract act (which includes general principles of law of contract, quasi-contracts, indemnity, guarantee, bailment, pledge, agency) and the enactments on sale of goods, partnerships and negotiable instruments.
Its also is a body of law that regulates the conduct of persons, merchants, and businesses who are engaged in trade, sales, and commerce. Also known as business law, it is a broad area of law that interacts with many other areas of law such as environmental regulation, real estate, and food/safety laws.
