CLAT/LAW

How to become a lawyer?

Before answering this question, let’s understand who a lawyer is. A lawyer is a person who is qualified to practice law by either providing legal advice to a company/individual or by representing them in legal matters. One cannot practice law without having a license. In countries like Mexico, anyone who has a valid law degree can practice law, however, in many countries, passing the ‘Bar Examination’ is necessary. In India as well, one has to pass the bar examination called the ‘All India Bar Examination (AIBE)’ to become a certified lawyer.  The government of India made AIBE mandatory for all law students from the academic year 2015-2016 onwards. But before giving the AIBE, having a law degree (LLB) is mandatory.

LLB

The bachelor of Legislative law is often called LLB after the Latin term Legum Baccalaureus. LLB is an undergraduate law course. You have a choice between two courses if you want to be a lawyer. One is the 3-year course for which graduation is necessary. Another is the 5-year integrated BA LLB (Hons.) course for those without graduation. There are other types of integrated courses as well such as BSc. LLB and BBA LLB. The candidates applying for an LLB or LLM (a postgraduate law degree) must pass an entrance exam. There are many entrance exams for different colleges such as CLAT, LSAT, AILET, LAWCET, etc.
