From a budding career in a law firm to providing
legal advice to the Indian Army, the prospective legal professionals have ample
of opportunities to look forward to once they assess their career goals and
make an informed decision about their practice areas in the legal field.
Let’s first get introduced to few terminologies
here. In Indian context, an advocate is a person so registered with any of the
State Bar Councils, affiliated to Bar Council of India. For the law college
graduates, who want to serve their country while practicing law, can become
members of the Indian military.
Being a Judge Advocate in India’s armed forces is a
less-talked-about career path for future advocates, but equally glorious in its
own way. The military branch of Indian Army has legal professionals who have
knowledge of military law and deal with all the legal affairs. It is called the
Judge Advocate General (JAG) Department, and the legally qualified personnel are
called judge advocates.
The young aspirers from the reputed law colleges,
who have completed their graduation in law, and are registered with the Bar
Council of India are eligible to apply for Short Service Commission (SSC) in
the Indian Army law department. Upon final selection in JAG, the candidates
will have to undergo a thorough training, and a stated stipend may be imparted
to them during this period. The law graduates with LLB degree,
either three year course after graduation or five year course after 10+2, can
pursue their dream of serving the country while actively practicing the law specialty
area.
Asian Law College is among the topmost law
education institutes in India which is approved by Bar Council of India (BCI). It
stresses upon a practice‐oriented legal education for the young aspirants
through its five-year integrated program in law. The BA LLB
