The biggest pros are that you are your own master and do not have to bow to anyone except the Judge and that too only in Court or live by anyone else’s rules and as far as earning is concerned, sky is the limit plus you have job satisfaction.

Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming. If you haven't mooted and have ended your law school and want to litigate, still, go to the court with your head held high. Also give the black robe a Bat Man sort of a flourish.

Unlike practise areas like private equity or capital markets, litigation presents a growing opportunity for the country’s best corporate law firms.

So, what about a person like me who doesn't believe in the concept of networking? Who finds this concept absolutely shallow? If you wanna get a job, why not get it on your “own” merit rather than using "jugaad"?

As in BIG enough to see that yes people know me , by my name they know what work I've done.

Earlier I was not at all interested in pursuing law. It was because of my father and his uncle, who was once the Chief Justice of Allahabad High Court, that I gave Law entrance exams just for the sake of it.
