Legal Profession.

TAKE A SNEAK PEEK INTO LEGAL PROFESSION.
Take any profession. For gaining mastery over a particular profession, academic qualification with high degree of University is not sufficient. This is the theoretical aspect. Educational qualification is a license, entry-pass to enter a particular profession. After achieving it, the real journey of experience starts. Practical ways, methods, code, ethics of a profession are different from the ideological lessons given in University courses. Life is a road of thorns, ups and downs. The up-hill journey begins now. Many compromises have to be made.
The profession is run on likes and dis-likes. You have to have your own circle, a group to survive in a particular profession where the life is full of uncertainties and worries. Survival of the fittest is the rule in every profession. It is a rat-race. You have to be much more than your colleague. Result oriented methods prove helpful in your elevation to the point of a recognised professional.
For the first ten years, ten percent inspiration and ninety percent perspiration has to be shed by every professional. Within next twenty years, the ratio of inspiration and perspiration gets swapped. Now the real life begins. You are at the top. Do not remain under an illusion. You have to remain there. How to remain there is the crux of the real professional caliber.
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.
In the field of legal profession, you have to prove yourself on every occasion. Every day is a one-day match. You have to win. You can not afford to lose. You have to be in the good books of the Judge by your knowledge, sincerity and punctuality. You have to serve your client. You have to see that justice is done. It is a triangular conflict in which you have to steer out yourself with tact and hard-work. Your future, your life depends on your performance. You have to fight like a warrior on a battle-field. After long experience, you learn that your mind has to be set for the legal profession. Mind set for legal profession is seen in hereditary generation of lawyers than a new entrant with no legal heritage.
It is not easy for every one to walk in and claim to be lawyer, for practicing the law in the Superior Courts. You have to be up-to date on subject wise authorities. You have to assist the court. You have to listen to your client. You have to find ways and means and arrange strategy to achieve your goal. Legal profession is like a jealous mistress which does not allow you to live normal life with your family. You have to sacrifice social functions and family obligations to be a successful lawyer.
You are a student to learn something new in the legal jugglery of words every day . Since Hamurbi's time, in the name of administration of law, everything has been done which otherwise could never be done. The kings, the rulers the governments wielded enough power to control its people in the name of administration of law and justice. It is accepted that Rule of Law is the crux of social existence. Without the existence of the rule of law, our society would turn into a lawless jungle of beasts.
JUDGING THE JUDGES.
The rich and the powerful could do anything and everything as they wished. But at the same time, it is also true that the law right from the investigation stage to the verdict stage has to be flawless. It gets tainted by time it reaches the hands of the judge. This can be done by strict supervision and scrutiny, process of monitoring.
The process is exploited, facts are mis-recorded, misinterpreted twisted and turned by the mighty and the rich with reference to politics related people. They exploit the system to serve their selfish ends. In many cases it is seen that the law does not touch the wealthy and the mighty. Their lawyers twist turn misread the provisions of law to serve their ends. They escape from the clutches of law.
The law enforcement and law administration are two brothers who have to work in harmony and synthesis and are complimentary to each other instead of finding faults with each other. Some lawyers mis-interpret the law in their favour. They sell the law.
The Courts have turned into helpless spectators of being witness to such frauds of justice. This has turned out to be a day to day affair. Faulty investigations, intimacy with the criminals, facilities to the criminals in jails are a routine matter. In the Bombay jail, the criminal is attending a moojrah night at a reputed place. In his place in the jail there is a dummy, duplicate fellow. If there was a checking, everything would look in order as per the head-count. They spend money like water. They get what they want. This has to be stopped.
The above are a few isolated cases cited about the abuse of the process of the law. The present arrangement is the only available workable and on the whole satisfactory system in existence. With the coming of computers, it is hoped the method would still improve and not only justice will be done but it will appear that justice is done.
