Because Law is not studied at school level in our country, many entrants are unsure of what is involved in LLB Degree. Perhaps the best way of explaining the legal study, is to try to remove some of the misconceptions, which have grown up around.
The first misconception is that legal study is exclusively for students who intend becoming Advocates or Judges. While it is true that majority of our students continue from degree into legal profession, a sizable proportion does not. As law plays an increasingly important role in almost all spheres of modern life, it is likely that LL.B degree will continue to provide a useful qualification for a number of career opportunities.
Second misconception is the belief that law is solely about criminal trials. The truth is that most of the legal work does not involve courts. Even of cases which do come to court, a great many are not concerned with crimes at all but rather with people’s rights as employees, consumers and members of local community. In recent years there has been a steady increase in the use of tribunals, rather than the courts, to deal with the legal disputes. It is known as Alternate Dispute Resolution, a full-fledged subject being taught in JLC. Corporate side Chamber Practice is another area, which has bright prospects, for young male and female lawyers.
