CAREER IN LAW
WHAT IS LAW?
Besides being financially lucrative, Law is an adventurous and thrilling career option. Consequently, the degree equips you, not just to be an accomplished lawyer but also a businessman, bureaucrat, diplomat, social activist or academician. It goes without saying that financially, the profession is hugely rewarding.
Generally it’s a male–dominated field, but prospects for women are now-a-days improving in legal firms, corporate houses as legal advisors. Specialization in a single focused branch, there are short diploma courses. To practice, it is mandatory to put in a year’s internship.
WHAT MAKES YOU A DEMANDING LAWYER?

Whilst you’ve been distracted with Brexit and what that means for your business, you’ve probably missed some significant changes in the law. In our March forum we covered:
- contract changes (what they mean to your supply chain, customers and suppliers)
- data protection (the challenges of becoming a 'third country')
- legal privilege and internal investigations (practical tips following SFO V ENRC)
- employment law (changes to employment law you need to be aware of)
- banking - your banking covenants (what to be aware of - particularly in the event of a downturn ahead)
- property (end of lease issues for business owners).

A civil advocate in Indoremust charge a fee consistent with his standing at the bar and the nature of the case. The Constitution of India makes provision for the high courts to settle the table of fees payable to advocates practicing before them. An advocate must not stipulate a fee contingent on the results of litigation or agree to share the proceeds of litigation. This is because giving the lawyer an interest in the subject matter of the suit is against professional ethics and violative of public policy.

Customer experience: la empresa en su laberinto (Enrique Dans)Alfonso Gadea
Un pequeño dispositivo me ha despertado por la mañana con una vibración. Al levantarme detiene el control de mi actividad nocturna y pasa a medir mi balance de ingesta y quema de calorías en comparación con el de mis amigos. Me pongo a leer las noticias, pero no en la prensa, velada por la maquetación y la publicidad, sino en un lector de noticias, tamizado por la elección de aquéllos a los que sigo.
Así comienza el día de una persona de la Generación C (conectada), la primera no generacional, que no depende de cuándo naciste sino de tu actitud hacia la conectividad: son aquéllos que cuando les falta el wifi empiezan a ponerse verdes... Así definía hace dos días Enrique Dans @edans la experiencia del cliente hoy: Compartir forma parte intrínseca del disfrute de algo.

Planners’ achievements are almost always secured through collaboration with those in other professions. Attorneys, city/county managers, architects and engineers all have their own
responsibilities and their own ethics codes. Both professional expertise and professional ethics among professions might differ, overlap, or sometimes conflict. How can planners navigate
these waters while meeting their responsibilities to clients, colleagues and the public interest?

proportion of leaders.
• The legal profession has supplied a majority of Head of
the state and executive head around the world. To name
few:
• Lawyers occupy leadership roles as Legislators, judges,
CEOs,
• Even in Bar who holds an executives play leadership roles
• Reality, we are not product of leadership schooling and
we did not receive formal education in leadership skills.
9
10. Why leadership in lawyers require
• First, our society is suffering from a leadership
deficit in public, private, and non-profit spheres.
• Second, the legal profession, by many accounts, is
suffering from a crisis of morale, from a disconnect
between personal values and professional life.
• The need for greater leadership competence by
lawyers is due to the important and visible roles
they play in our communities, government
institutions, and significant commercial, business
and inter-personal transactions.
10
11. Changing Dimension of Lawyer’s world
• World’s largest firms:

appropriate remedies available as per your review of
the case- could be verified from colleagues
• Understanding the new generation of lawyers and
their expectations
• Proper survellienace and self awareness of the
businesses and clients
12
13. What is Pro Bono?
• Law is a profession of skills and talent
• Law is a profession of trust.
• Law is a service profession.
• Pro Bono is short for "Pro Bono publico" which
translates in English to "for the public good". It
includes both legal and non-legal services
undertaken voluntarily or for a reduced fee.
13
14. Types of Pro Bono Work
• Representing clients for reduced or no fees;
• Taking on public interest cases to test or change the
application of the law;
• Taking on novel cases to test legal theories;
• Facilitate community legal education programs;
• Representing unpopular or repugnant clients;
• Commenting on and contributing to the content of
new/proposed laws;
• Advocating for reform of existing laws; and
• Engaging in community welfare projects.
14
15. Why undertake Pro Bono activities?
• Legal professionals play an important (and
visible) role in society.
• It is another way in which we can ensure that
our role remains respected and to increase what
we can give back to society.
• Pro bono is a crucial opportunity to influence
the legal system (including to bring about
reform).
15
16. Moral reasons
• We have a moral obligation to contribute to the
creation of new laws and to advocate for change
to improve existing laws. We are experts on the
law and therefore are able to impact on or to
change the lives that the law effects; and therefore
we have the responsibility to do so.
• As we understand the law and its operation we
also have a privileged opportunity to engage with
law makers and the courts. As such they are in a
better position to contribute to and comment on
the law than most people in the community. . 16
17. • Lawyers therefore have an ethical duty
to that wider community, especially
those sectors of the community that
do not have the understanding or
opportunity to comment or contribute
to the law on their own behalf.
17
18. Monopoly argument
• By virtue of the fact that lawyers have
a monopoly over the market for legal
advice and representation, they have a
responsibility to offer that advice not
only to those who can pay for it, but
also those who cannot afford it.
18
19. Development
• Gain and practice skills that you might not be able to in
normal practice.
• Working on pro bono legal matters is an excellent
opportunity for lawyers to develop their legal skills, as well
as their interpersonal skills required for effective
communication with their clients. While lawyers should be
careful not to take on matter well outside their competency,
pro bono representation is also a good opportunity to try
different areas of law which lawyers may not necessarily be
exposed to when completing fee earning work.
19
20. Community benefit -For the public
good!
• The most obvious and most important benefit is
exactly what pro bono seeks to do - the public
good. By engaging in pro bono programs lawyers
are able to improve many aspects of individual and
community welfare. Pro bono services improve the
quality of life for the community as a whole and
often improve the lives of vulnerable persons such
as the homeless, poverty stricken, those without
access to legal representation and those ignored or
mistreated by unfair operations of laws.
20
21. Duties of Pro Bono- Legal Aid
lawyer
• "Every counsel has a duty to his client fearlessly to raise every issue,
advance every argument, and ask every question, however distasteful,
which he thinks will help his client's case. But, as an officer of the
court concerned in the administration of justice, he has an overriding
duty to the court, to the standards of his profession, and to the public,
which may and often does lead to a conflict with his client's wishes or
with what the client thinks are his personal interests. Counsel must not
mislead the court, he must not lend himself to casting aspersions on
the other party or witnesses for which there is no sufficient basis in the
information in his possession, he must not withhold authorities or
documents which may tell against his clients but which the law or the
standards of his profession require
• - per Lord Reid in Rondel v Worsley [1969] AC 191 at 227 [is this
quote too complex (language) for our advocates?] him to produce."
21
22. DUTY TO COURT
• A legal practitioner:
• Must not mislead the Court
• Must not engage in conduct that is an abuse of process
• Must act with competence, honesty and courtesy towards
other legal practitioners, parties and witnesses
• Must be independent and without bias
• Must be forthright in their disclosures to the Court and
diligent in their observance of orders and undertakings
• Must be efficient
• Must act with fairness
22
23. DUTY NOT TO MISLEAD THE
COURT
• Duty not to mislead the Court includes:
• Duty not to misrepresent the law
• Requirement to be aware of the applicable rules
and procedures governing the proceedings
• Requirement to draw the Court's attention to
relevant authorities – whether they assist or detract
from the client's case
• Duty not to advise or encourage a witness to give
false evidence
23
24. EXAMPLES OF MISLEADING THE
COURT
• Knowingly misstating the contents of a document,
the testimony of a witness, the substance of an
argument or the provisions of an Act or authority
• Knowingly asserting something as a fact for which
there is no reasonable basis in evidence, or the
admissibility of which must first be established
• Dissuading or seeking to dissuade a material witness
from giving evidence, or persuading such a witness
to be absent
• Knowingly permitting a witness to be present in a
false or misleading way, or to impersonate another
24
25. Ensuring quality of services by
Legal Aid Lawyer
• Access to justice does not mean access to a
lawyer. It is about being able to enforce
legitimately held legal rights.
• Justice frustrated because lawyers simply are
not to the job, rather they assist to get
justice.
25
26. Hence, Legal Aid lawyers must
ensure…………
• In improving current practices,
• maintaining quality of services,
• Securing clients confidence,
• Giving professional best, and
• Availing justice to the legal aid beneficiaries
