Greetings to you my dear friends,
This is perhaps for the very first time that a law aspirant has taken the initiative to come and express his willingness to help and guide you through this wonderful journey called "LAW". I have been, on many such occasions, perturbed of all these commercial enterprises that have tried to balance "knowledge" with "money". More often than not, we as students of high schools before entering a Law College do not have an idea about what a Law College is all about. I shall address this question by mentioning the name of a very famous professor and one of the best mediators in the World: Professor John Shulman who came to visit the National Law University, New Delhi where I am presently a student.
The very first time he entered in our class, he asked us a simple question: "Why Law?"
There was a whole range of answers which came from all the high and mighty bunch of intellectuals: some claiming it to be an affinity towards the subjects, others frankly proclaiming it to be the incentives involved and yet others who were doing it just because their parents or their siblings were into the same profession. He gave everybody a chance and then narrated his own experience. He said " I know a person who is a J.D. from Harvard Law School {equivalent to L.L.M. in India} and who left his degree because he wanted to play football !
I also know a person who is the best buddy of the Obama's since they had both graduated from the same law school.
I also know a person who owns a corporate law company and earns close to $ 5 Million on a monthly basis and I also know a person who is an excellent documentary maker for which he had been accoladed at the Cannes Film Festival.
I also know a person who served as a key agent or mediator { in its legal sense} for the resolution of the ongoing conflict at the Gaza Strip between the Palestinians and the Israelis and his work has been acknowledged world wide.
And you would be shocked to listen to this : That all these people are ME
It was then that we realized that even after procuring a law degree you can be what you want to be and you can do what you desire to do only if you believe in your efforts and are committed to your cause. It is not the "Be All and End All " of the story . The journey begins now............
So it is immaterial whether you are a high school student or a passed out, a student studying in the national law universities or Other Law faculties, It is even immaterial whether you belong to Science Stream or Commerce or Arts: What matters is Setting the Right Goal, Tenacious Efforts to reach your goal and above all Your Will Power( which will be so frequently tested on numerous occasions) stating " bold; "I'll be Holding on to the Vision in my Eyes"
With these words , I extend a warm welcome to you all for instating your faith in me and I shall help you, guide you and even learn from you about the intrinsic beauty of this wonderful subject which is not only a part of your civics or social science class but is rather the Most reverent profession and a potent weapon through which you CAN make a difference in the life of the people.
