Do freshers learn on the job ?

There is no learning to a fresher because what generally happens is that your lazy PA and partners that get the big bucks salary have not kept abreast of law and not been actively working because they get to dump the work on Senior Associates and Associates, so when they dont know the law and cannot teach the law they openly declare that its Associates who have to know the law.Then due to such incompetence the client will be forced to go and seek Counsel services whose face will be familiar to the Judges presiding on that matter and will be to extract/ensure a favourable order.Pathetic learning system where no one really learns and all incompetent/unethical Advocates earn.

That’s why toppers at NLS are so inclined towards TCs. And even uk law firms give you an option to skip TC years if are already qualified for the job and show good work performance. And if not then you are already learning anyway. The Indian system is pretty unscientific

A0s are NOT expected to start performing from day 0 or for initial 6 months. But being punctual and available, ready to devote time and a strong seeking spirit is expected.
