1. You are in first year! There's time for development, evolving etc. You may not have a specific interest at all and may take anywhere between a semester, to a year to three years to find your niche, you may have an interest and over the course of time find that it isn't a flash in the pan and is the right thing for you, you may have an interest but end up trying something related or even different (and maybe even something you thought wouldn't interest you) and find that actually even that other thing interests you a lot so you end up combining both interests or you may find that the thing that you thought would interest you is actually a bit meh and may become interested in something else. So yes, this is the time to try as many things as you can. If you have an interest in something from the beginning and know from evidence/experience it will work out, great! Go ahead and pursue that with all your heart! At the same time, you could try lots of things and take longer to find your niche area; even if you do know 100% that something is for you, try some other things and see if they might not work as well. That's also wonderful! People with both types of trajectories have had equally successful careers.

2. However, I would say that there is a difference between trying lots of things and drifting. Don't just do things aimlessly for the sake of doing them. Do them with a view to learning something and asking if you think it's likely to give more life satisfaction.

3. Gradually, understand what you want to specialise in. By the time you are done with your degree, you should have a reasonably clear idea what area(s) of law are of your interests and which aren't.

4. If academia is what you are going for, use the last year or so of your UG law degree to build on your area of interest. Especially if you are looking at any kind of further study in the UK and some other countries, they will want evidence of a clear understanding of what your interests are and that you have followed-up on those.

5. Then use up your LLM to deeply specialise in your area(s) of interest - especially in academia, having just one area of interest can be a bit boring for your entire life.

6. Your PhD is to be used to hyperspecialise in one thing.

I am in first year, and one of our professors in being asked about career paths, stated that in terms of law, we should not specialise in UG, or have a general specialisation; later on, if we find our passion or our niche, then we should specialise in PG, and our PhD should be focused on one topic that will help kickstart our post-phd career if we want to pursue academia or research.

How many of your agree ? Since I have no interest in any particular area, how do I choose a specialisation ? How did you choose yours ? Did you have generalization in UG or l even in your masters ? What's your perspective on this ?
