Today I am gonna share with you my law school experience, to be really very honest I had never been interested in law and had never thought about pursuing it, I had always been a science guy and it still fascinates me, but after passing class 12th when I was in my first year of graduation doing my bachelors in science, I started watching “SUITS.” For all those who don’t know about suits lemme tell you, it’s an American legal fiction drama based on the life of a corporate lawyer. The series portrays Harvey Specter as the best closure of the city who hires Mike Ross a prodigy with an amazing mind. The most interesting part of the series is that Mike Ross never went to a law school but ends up being a junior associate to the best law firm of the city. I was so impressed by the personality and characteristics of Harvey Specter that I decided to pursue law. It’s not the best way to decide a carrier but things happen, sometimes we take decisions that affect our entire life but we take these decisions without considering the long term scenarios.
I dont know what i just wrote but do give it a read.
Well for now I think that it was a good choice and things ended out to be perfect for me; here I am in my second year, studying law. It is nothing like suits or anything that I expected it to be, it’s entirely different but it is something that taught me a lot. Not only did I learned about the enactments of parliament or the precedents set by the judges of the supreme court or the high court but also why we need them and how we can use them for the benefit of the society.
There have been a lot of incidents that happened with me during my first year in the law school. I have always been a lazy kind of person, from lazy I mean physically lazy, during my first year I never missed a single class and I was the reason that my class never had an actual mass bunk. You might be thinking, how bad I am or something but to be honest I never understood the concept of mass bunk. Mass bunk means when everyone decides to not attend a class. It’s okay to not attend a class but then do what? No one ever answered this particular question and so I never missed a class.
The best thing that I liked about my law school is my teachers, they are very helpful and dedicated and have always helped me a lot, let it be an academic problem or any personal problem and so are most of my friends cooperative and helpful. I think it was a good choice that I joined this law course but the thing that I guess I will never understand is this weird education system. I don’t understand the reason we have to remember so many case laws when we could easily google them, I don’t understand the need of learning all those sections of bare acts when we are allowed to refer them during court proceedings. Why do we need to jot down so many questions and answers when we could simply type them? I don’t understand why do we have a fixed syllabus and our entire focus is on giving exams, why can’t we have an interactive methodology where instead of being taught a fixed syllabus we get to develop our advocacy skill I thought we were developing but how can we truly develop when we even don’t know how to work smart.
