Dear Sir(s),

Iam an BBM.,MBA.,
Now, Iam very much interested in obtaining a post graduate degree in Law thru correspondence.

Now, I would like to know whether the following degrees in law are fit enough to become a bar council member, wear advocates coat and argue in court ?
1.ML(Master of Law),
2.MBL(Master of Business Law),
3.LLM(3years course).

It has been in my dream and interest to do a worth while professional/semi-professional degree.

Some curious interest of mine in law as a subject:

1.Consuer protection,
2.Human Rights,
3.Environmental issues,
4.Intellectual property rights & patents.

The idea is, I don't want to do a course just to add to my name.I should be be able to use it in real.

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,
S.Prabhu Shankar.MBA.,

Dear Prabhu,

Donot be under an impression that only by wearing black coat, you can render legal service. You can after completing these course advice people, neighbours and othe NGO on the legal issues. You cannot represent them in court that is all. You can do good service without wearing a black coat.

In case of doing consumer cases you dont need to be an advocate.

There is no college in India which provides llb through correspondence.
Its one of the manadatory provisions of BCI that 66% attendance must be there for each year along with practical training n all that.

Without getting BL or LLB from a regular college you are not eligigble to enroll as an advocate. Even if you study MBL course from national law unversity bangalore still you are not eligible. Only bachlor degree in law from regular college is eiligible to enroll as an advocate.

Dear Prabhu, unless u obtain a law undergraduate course whther it is LLB or B.L. u cannot enrole your name in the Bar council which is mandatory for prpactising as an advocate in India. If u r really interested in practising law try to join in any of the above course. Only in Tamil Nadu it is called B.L. and in the rest of India it is LLB. With your qualifications you cannot obtain a master degree in Law which could be useful for your legal practice.
