Closer to the heavens,
the heart soaring through the clouds,
timid feet creeping to the edge,
afraid of the fall.
Brooding monoliths,
pacified by little brooks,
giant trees memorialized in driftwood.
The city celebrates its ugly spectacle,
affords me my escape.
Few day to go,
the heart yearns.

- I am every bit a lawyer and even more, a friend to my people. I say my people in a possessive and not in a proprietary way. All aspects of commercial and corporate activity interest me. In addition, litigation is a luxury I am blessed to be able to indulge in. To study human behaviour in passive and active adversariality, I love. I got more than I deserve, and lost some that I regret. The drive is great this far, hopefully the destination will be worth it. For those interested in my professional credentials, go to linkedin or martindale. For ones that face the challenge of a legal career and seek free advice on where to go or what to do, (beware of my meandering career) please post to this blog and I will revert in due course. For those of you that seek to ruffle my feathers, remember, I am losing the plumage (see pic for sympathy), so go slow.
Hi Dheeraj,
ReplyDeleteOne of those free advice seekers. As a fresher, I want to join litigation and yet want to be able to make money. If not much, at least fair salary to begin with.
Please suggest.
Dear In the eyes of law, tough question. Lit doesnt really pay in the initial years. The way i worked around it was by asking my boss to allow me to take on my own cases. Even offered to share and I did share. Boss brought a lot of value since he was much older and to my clients, worth the value. Its a tested proposition and nothing new. The other thing you can do is undertake editing for publishers at the same time. This really helps as you can learn the law simultaneously.
