How to Become a Lawyer in India?<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 1 – Choose any Stream after Class 10th<\/h3>\n

There is no specific stream required to pursue a degree in law, and students from all streams can go for this career. Some of the popular subjects for students aspiring for Law are Political Science, Legal Studies, Economics, History and Psychology. These subjects are recommended because they help form a base for the subjects taught in Law schools and some of these are beneficial in providing an insight to school students about the legal system of our country.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 2 – Pursue a Bachelor’s Degree in Law (L.L.B)<\/h3>\n

The next step in your journey to becoming a lawyer is to pursue a graduate degree in Law (L.L.B). You can pursue this either right after class 12th which will be a 5 year integrated degree such as BA LLB, B.COM LLB, BBA LLB, B.SC LLB or after your graduation which will be a 3 year degree in law that is LLB.<\/span><\/p>\n
