Most students hold the misconception that studying law is synonymous with cramming statutes and penal codes and offers little interest for people who do not want to make their careers as lawyers. However, for students who want to study humanities and develop critical thinking in the field, studying law can open their vision to a much deeper and wider understanding.
‘Why Study Law’.
“Last two decades have seen enormous diversification of the legal profession. Most lawyers or law graduates today from the leading law schools actually do not enter into litigation practice. Instead, they are pursuing a diverse range of options and opportunities that are available for them now, such as working for corporate law firms, trade and investment areas, non-governmental/inter-governmental organizations, human rights organizations, think tanks, research institutions, legal process outsourcing (LPOs), working as in-house counsel in companies and corporations both domestic and international. This has opened a range of possibilities for one to take up the study of law. Law helps you to challenge your thought process, develop analytical skills and negotiate better and actually work for the common interest of society. Knowledge of law provides the foundation to understand society,” said Prof Kumar.
The seminar was attended by a large number of young students, many of whom are contemplating different career options to suit their aptitude and intellectual strengths.
“Earlier in the ’80s, the law was not considered an important career option. However, times have changed now in our country for the better. I strongly believe that the law and the study of law are to become most prominent and important not only as a discipline but also as a career aspiration for young people because India is increasingly becoming a rule-of-law society, at least there is a strong aspiration to establish a rule of the law society. Secondly, we also believe that the democratic institutions of India are evolving in a more responsible manner. Increasingly, law and justice will shape the nature of democratic governance that we are aspiring to achieve,” he added.
Studying law not only trains you into becoming a lawyer but gives you the intellectual strength and problem-solving capacity to excel in any career you take, be it public service, administration, academics, research, business enterprise, or politics.
It is important to examine your aptitude before entering into this domain of study. One must not study law just because his/her parents were in the field or the profession looks attractive and glamorous.
Law is a wide and interesting field of study that not only trains students in interpreting statutes but provides them with a deep perspective into the evolution of the human race into civilizations governed by laws.
Studying the subject can equip students to pursue further studies in international relations, business studies, public policy, journalism, and political science as well as other streams of humanities. So, if you have an inquisitive intellect and want to develop critical and abstract thinking, the law is the subject for you.
