What a lawyer actually does
Litigation work is drafting, filing, research and appearances; corporate work is contracts, due diligence, compliance and advisory. Both are heavy on precise drafting and reading.
How to become one — the qualification route
LLB (3-year after graduation or 5-year integrated) plus enrolment with a State Bar Council and the All India Bar Examination to practise. Corporate legal roles may not require enrolment.
Regulated professions have statutory entry requirements. Always confirm current rules with the relevant council or university before enrolling anywhere.
Skills the role runs on
Which online courses actually help
