Suppose a good lawyers who has never done a consumer matter gets a consumer matter now. How will he go about it. Will he read the bare act first ? Or Join someone working in consumer law in the case ?
It is difficult to read after we leave law school, is reading on our desired area in law school the only solution ? If that is true then How do we expand our practise area?
I put up a hypothetical scenario and you did not even answer that and acting like a smart alec here in comments. Shoo.
Reading is the job with law. theres little else to it. Court craft and jugaad and all that cannot make up for reading things. wanting to be a lawyer and whining that reading is difficult is like wanting to be a surgeon and hating touching people or holding a scalpel. thats the whole damn job. this isnt business school. why go to law school and steal a seat away from someone who could actually handle reading a case if youre that averse to it?
Do you not know that there is depth to every law ?
I mean, whole bare act of laws, not just bits and pieces. Now think company law, mining law and rules, electricty act and rules, arbitration , land acquisition , commentaries (Ramaiya on company law ) , Sarkar on evidence , Basu on Crpc , Taxmann on Income Tax Act , Insurance Law , Banking Law , Insurance Act, Interest Act , relevant circular , relevant notifications and THEN case laws on point.
Amity se llb kiya hai ya BHU se bro ? Oh sorry you could be a Llyods law grad !
Not just those our consti law prof insisted we read through seervai! And fam law you needed to read Maine as well! Our jurisprudence / ios professor made us read original texts in Hart and dworkin and raz and fuller. It was just the done thing.
You don’t have to read it all in one sitting - you work through the material module by module week by week.
The fact that you think this is some lie or unbelievable makes me really worry for you young kids - what are they teaching you and what are you reading in law school?
Someone who is probably a troll? Just ask seniors who have graduated. If you went to nls or nalsar - none of this would be a surprise.
