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!

How Does Covid-19 Affect Our Bodies? Here's an Online Course That Explains the Human Body

The entire world is dealing with a virus called COVID-19 or Coronavirus. The question on everyone's minds is what this virus does to the body. Covid-19 typically affects the respiratory system and causes symptoms like coughing and shortness of breath. The virus works by getting inside the cells your body and then hijacks them. One of the critical things to bear in mind with this virus is that at an early stage, you may not get sick and that some people do not even detect symptoms. The time between infection and first symptoms appearing varies, but typically it's five to seven days on average. According to the World Health Organisation, common symptoms include fever, tiredness, a dry cough, shortness of breath, body aches, sore throat, and very few people will report diarrhea, nausea, or a runny nose. When the virus enters your system, usually beginning in the back of the throat, they multiply infecting the neighboring cells. Once it reaches and damages the lungs, it becomes difficult for the lungs to perform their main functions and supply oxygen to the blood that travels throughout the body. The virus multiplies in the respiratory tract and can cause a range of symptoms, according to Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, who heads the WHO's Health Emergencies Programme. "You have mild cases, which look like the common cold, which have some respiratory symptoms, sore throat, runny nose, fever, all the way through pneumonia. There can be varying levels of severity of pneumonia all the way through multi-organ failure and death," she told reporters in Geneva on February 7 according to a report on Aljazeera. It is important to do whatever is possible to prevent this virus from entering your bodies. WHO has provided a list of guidelines to be followed, and even though they may seem basic, it is very important to follow them. These include washing your hands with water and soap or using an alcohol-based hand rub, avoid touching your face with your hands, covering your mouth when you sneeze or cough, and maintaining social distancing. While everyone isn't an expert and can only follow the advice given, we do have some of you interested in a career in health and who want to know more about how the human body works. The course on Essential Human Biology: Cells and Tissues provides a foundation in human anatomy and physiology. The course gives you an understanding of the relationships between typical structure and the function in human cells and tissues. What's more, it employs several engaging learning methods, including videos, animations, interactive activities, and quizzes to help guide you through key concepts and helps make learning relevant. So, if you do decide to take this course, you'll get knowledge of the structure and function of human cells and tissues. You'll understand basic human anatomy and physiology and you will be able to prepare yourself for a career in health. *Link* : [https://www.glowandlovelycareers.in/en/course-detail](/course-detail/edx-adelaidex+humbio101x/essential-human-biology:-cells-and-tissues)
