Why Studying Law is important

One may indeed find the essence of law in Henry Beecher’s famous saying, “A law is valuable, not because it is a law, but because there is right in it”.  To be aware of one’s rights and to be sensitive to those of others, is just a concomitant to studying law. There are numerous other benefits, both academic and commercial.The legal profession is one of the most lucrative and one of the most sought after by students today. And not without reasons! A law student gets invariably equipped with a host of skills such as critical analysis, lateral thinking, research, and public speaking. They become learned– be it politics, society, economics or governance of a nation or its constitutional, corporate, civil or criminal laws- you become well versed with all the diverse aspects of national as well as international importance.
