Unfortunately, there are way fewer female lawyers than male lawyers around the world. But it is time that changes!

More women need to enter the law. This is because as women, they have a voice and a perspective that could benefit other women. They can be role models to the next generation of women. They can promote equality and diversity in the workplace.

A lawyer is a very good profession. The role of a lawyer is to use the law to protect citizens and prosecute criminals. Lawyers do a great service to society. They also help citizens sort all their documents and legal matters. There are various specialisations of law:

  • Administrative law

  • Animal rights Law

  • Civil law

  • Consumer protection law

  • Corporate law

  • Criminal law

  • Cyberlaw

  • Environment law

  • Family law

  • Human rights law

  • Intellectual property law

  • Labour law

  • Real estate law

  • Tax law

    You can become a lawyer by opting for an integrated B.A + Bachelors of Law (LLB) course after 12th grade. This is a 5-year course that combines your graduation and a law degree. You can also complete your graduation first and then complete your LLB. However, this will take 1-3 years longer, depending on your graduation course duration.

    After this, you can opt for a Master of Law (LLM) degree to hone your skill. LLM is optional and not a requirement.

To gain admission into a law college, you will have to give any of the law entrance exams. 4 popular law entrance exams are:

  • All India Law Entrance Test (AILET)

  • Symbiosis Law Admission Test (SLAT)

  • Law School Admission Test (LSAT)

  • Maharashtra Common Entrance Test - Law (MC-CET)

    You will gain admission based on your scores on the test. Additionally, you can choose to intern at court or volunteer for extra points.

    The LLM course focuses on all aspects of society and law. You will study all subjects to help you better understand the law and the society around you. These include economics, political science, sociology, etc. You will also learn law-related subjects like criminal law, constitutional law and family law.

    You are a lawyer once you have successfully cleared your finals in LLB. But to become an advocate with permission to practise law, you will need to pass the All India Bar Examination( AIBE). The exam is conducted annually by the Bar Council of India. You must first register as a lawyer in a state bar council to be eligible for the exam.

    Once you pass the exam, start applying for jobs and gain experience. You can start with internships at law firms or any legal job at law offices. You can also practise independently. However, it is recommended that you first gain experience before going off on your own. In India, law firms offer a salary in the range of Rs 25-30 lakh per annum to Rs 150-200 lakh for experienced advocates. Even just graduated advocates get between Rs 5-10 lakh per year to Rs 18-20 lakh per year. It takes a lot of hard work to become a lawyer. So, if you think you want to become one, start by studying for the law school entrance exams. You can upskill with free courses by Glow & Lovely Careers (formerly known as Fair & Lovely Career Foundation) to help you prepare. Best of luck!

Career In Machine Learning

Machine Learning is the use of Artificial Intelligence to let machines learn how to do a task without being programmed to do that task specifically. (In short, machines learn on their own without any help from people!) This process starts with giving them good-quality data. The data is then used to build different machine-learning models and algorithms, which are used to train the machines. The type of data we have and the type of task we want to automate will determine which algorithms we use. Now that we know the basics of Machine Learning, let's look at how this knowledge can be used to build a career. Machine Learning is very popular because it saves people a lot of work and makes machines work better by letting them learn independently. Because of this, there are many popular and well-paying jobs in Machine Learning, like Machine Learning Engineer, Data Scientist, NLP Scientist, etc. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 1. \*\* Data Scientist:\*\* A Data Scientist uses advanced analytics tools, such as Machine Learning and Predictive Modeling, to collect, analyse, and make sense of a lot of data in order to get insights that can be used to make decisions. The executives of the company then use these to decide how to run the business. <br /> <br /> 1. \*\*Machine Learning Engineer: \*\*A Machine Learning Engineer is an engineer who uses programming languages like Python, Java, Scala, etc., along with the right machine learning libraries to run different machine learning experiments. <br /> <br /> 1. \*\* NLP Scientist:\*\* "NLP" stands for "natural language processing," which is the process of making machines understand how people talk. This means that one day, machines will be able to talk to people in their own language. An NLP Scientist's job is to help make a machine that can learn how people talk and translate what they say into other languages. <br /> <br /> 1. **Business Intelligence Developer**: A Business Intelligence Developer uses Data Analytics and Machine Learning to collect, analyse, and make sense of large amounts of data. They then turn this information into actionable insights that company executives can use to make business decisions. In simpler terms, it means using data to help businesses make better decisions. <br /> <br /> 1. \*\*Human-Centered Machine Learning Designer: \*\*Human-Centered Machine Learning is about Machine Learning algorithms based on people. Video rental services like Netflix are a good example of this. They let their customers choose movies based on what they like, giving them a "smart" viewing experience. This means that a Human-Centered Machine Learning Designer builds different systems that can use information processing and pattern recognition to do Human-Centered Machine Learning. This lets the machine "learn" each person's preferences without having to use complicated programmes that have to be adjusted by hand for every possible user scenario. All of the above five careers require some serious skills. These include Programming, Probability, Statistics, Data Modeling, Machine Learning Algorithms, System Design, etc. You can find [free courses](https://www.glowandlovelycareers.in/en/online-courses)about many of them at Glow \& Lovely Careers (formerly known as Fair \& Lovely Career Foundation).
