Life of lawyers

What is the salary of lawyer in India?

Advocates don't get salaries, as we are self-employed professionals, who earn their living by charging fees for individual cases. The fee range of an Advocate can range from Rs 300 an appearance for a junior lawyer in the lower Courts, to Rs 25 Lakh an appearance which was the reported fee charged by Ram Jethmalani, the senior-most Senior Advocate in India.

With regard to lawyers working in law firms, too, there's a wide disparity depending on factors such as area of practice, city where the lawyer is based, size of the firm, reputation of the firm and seniority of the lawyer. There are some lawyers working in small law firms in Kolkata who earn as little as Rs 6000 a month, while their counterparts working in Khaitan & Co in the same city earn starting salaries which may even go up to Rs 1,00,000 per month.

Mumbai firms generally pay more, something averaging around Rs 45,000 to 50,000 per month, but then again, Mumbai is a more expensive city to live in, and the ones earning such 1 are usually working in the area of 1 law rather than litigation.

The pay varies wildly, and it's difficult to arrive at an average pay figure in the legal profession.

Biggest lesson that life has taught

LIFE  has taught me lessons too many to mention, therefore I will only list those that are imposed by the ill of society. Our aspirations that we foster as children are blown up to smithereens as we begin to age. From failure we learn humbleness and for success we learn that happiness was its sacrifice. The lessons we learn are not all reflective of our successes but deflective in our failure looking for that unseen fulfillment in which we elude ourselves in. Silence is wisdom & wisdom is power.  Ernest Psiachari, a French writer from the 1800’s expressed- Silence is a bit of heaven that comes down to earth. True words of wisdom. Slumbering ego awakened by the dim-witted.  To imply that every human being has an ego which is normally in slumber. But if the dim witted awakens my ego, I will wreak havoc. I will boast about my achievements, only when my ego is provoked. The secret of success stays secret.  To work harder than my competitors by not offering any information about my plan

One cute love story
