Civil, Criminal and Writ practice.
Being the High court there is a lot of appellate work pertaining to civil and criminal laws. On the Writ side, there is huge amount of work pertaining to service laws. Not a lot of commercial matters. Counsels practicing on civil and writ side often take up arbitration and other contract matters.
From the perspective of a junior, some chambers don't pay at all, some pay in the range of 5-20k. On the brighter side, the cost of living is not much too. The standard of the bar is really good and there are excellent lawyers practising here.
