I remember when I decided to pursue law; my father had expressed his reservation based upon his experience being a government employee. These reservations of my father and family were understandable but I was determined to pursue law.
I enrolled myself in a private university and was observing various avenues from where it was possible to pursue law. I started spending most of my internships in the lower courts of New Delhi to understand how the base of the judiciary pyramid works.
I have had sense of self dependence and earn for my own expenses. I met a 1st year law student who requested me to be his tutor in some subjects. Initially I didn’t agree, but later agreed. This helped me study initial law subjects afresh; it opened the avenue for my earnings too.
Post my graduation, I started working with litigation chambers under District Court and some cases that required Hon’ble High Court’s scrutiny. Working in a chamber the most important thing is to gain the trust of your senior. You need to study each case as the client had approached you and not your senior, without worrying about the remuneration. This trust led me doing the running in the registry for a listing to appearing in the cases very early in my career. My appearances in court cases increased and I was able to own a personal vehicle, which was my dream for years.
I started working with a firm to understand the dynamics and logistics of one such firm. I worked for myself and I started my own law firm ‘Eloquence Legal’ which was subsequently expanded itself with induction of a friend.
It is important to have dreams from an early age, it’s important to keep working for it. Today, I face new challenges, I have been collaborating and professionally working with different firms and lawyers from Bombay and Kolkata and follow my passion for teaching, and the next goal should be to club the legal profession with teaching in a way it turns out beneficial for everyone.
