Yours Position as a Legal Professional - An Overview

The B.A.LL.B. Course will make you a law graduate but not a lawyer. Law College teaches some fundamental basics but in no way it can introduce you to the diversity in the legal profession. A law degree is only presumptive evidence of a person’s fitness for the practice of law. Legal practice herein used indicates practice in the professional realm of law, as envisaged in the Indian Advocates Act, 1961

B.A.LL.B (5 Years)	IN THE REALM OF LEGAL PRACTICE	ADVOCATES	The Indian Advocates Act, 1961, recognises only one generic term ‘Advocate’ – authoritative legal professionals in the country. Advocates are the only recognized class of persons entitled to practice Law	Judicial services	The department of Legal Affairs in the Union Ministry of Law and justice has provided for the Indian Legal Service (see lawmin.nic.in) for its internal convenience. This is an All India Service, with candidates being recruited through UPSC on the grounds of their experience in the legal profession. The posts covered under the Indian Legal Service are Law Officers, Legal Assistants, Deputy Legal Advisors and Legal Advisors.
