This is genuinely the question that every NLU student (who is not the offspring of a judge/senior advocate/law firm partner/parliamentarian/CA) should ponder upon.
Similar to other sectors, but uniquely becoming exclusionary to a higher degree, decent opportunities in legal profession seem to be restricted to cities of Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru. It doesn't matter if you belong to a well known institute, students/graduates in these cities are better placed to grab opportunities owing to the locational advantage and their simultaneous work-exposure during their law school journey.
How would a law student from a non-metro city be able to compete with their counterparts in such a scenario? Have such students taken a wrong decision to pursue law and invest in INR10+ lakhs in a profession which will take a very long time to give reasonable returns?
Doesn't this reflect an emerging polarising situation? Law is still not a big industry like IT. But its uneven expansion seems to be spreading very fast. This is worsened by the fact that Delhi continue to be primary seat for litigation. Supreme Court does not seem to part away with its powers and establish circuit benches. Except 3-4 High Courts, all are very feeble and their judgments/orders itself are looked down in the top court.
How should such students survive if they don't want to migrate to such cities and still have decent career in law. Do they have any option?
