It's in fashion now.
I'd strongly suggest you to write foundation and attempt Inter while you're in college. If you're fortunate, you'll clear Inter soon and can join for articleship right after your degree. You'll also have a college life, which I feel the new batch of CA students lack.
However, important that you have an inclination to taxation and related aspects. Else, it isn't of much use.
Cheers, and all the best
I would suggest you go for it
Will help in establishing corporate, tax, cross border transaction, M & A , related law practice
Anything else required?
I mean who would even resign from a top tier govt. Grade A gazetted Central Service?
You have to be extremely careful with the language, precision & clarity wise.
Hold a persuasive silver tongue to compel a judge who knows more than you in most of the cases.
Know the legal framework and be upto-date every SINGLE DAY for a new judgment that can make or break your case.
Bar politics also require high intellect and street-smarts to grow in the field.
Know the right people(common in every profession, but most relevant in law); something which lawyers specialize in.
Some people who are CA can decide to enter law to maximize their tax practice.
But for us lawyers, accountancy is just another domain for taxation skill enhancement.
S. 132 BSA also provides advocates with a special protection which no other profession can have.
In fact, an advocate has the right to practice in every tribunal, court, forum, the same however cannot be said for CA.
