📚 Once you graduate from a law school and become a lawyer, the journey doesn't end there; it marks the beginning of a career filled with responsibilities. The post you are designated with comes with power, and as we all know, with power comes responsibility.

🔍 Lately, I've been closely observing the legal landscape, and it's disheartening to witness instances where advocates misuse their powers. It's crucial to remember that the legal profession is built on principles of justice, integrity, and ethical conduct.

🌟 Many consider the legal profession as a blessing, an opportunity to make a positive impact on society. Becoming a great lawyer is not everyone's cup of tea, but those who do succeed find themselves in a privileged position. Lawyers have the ability to assist individuals, groups, and organizations with legal issues, all while advancing the public interest.

👥 However, it's essential for us, as legal professionals, to reflect on our actions and ensure that we uphold the ethical standards that define our noble profession. Misuse of power not only tarnishes our individual reputations but also erodes the public's trust in the legal system.

🌐 Let's strive to be advocates for justice, fairness, and ethical practice. Our role in society is not just a job; it's a responsibility to serve with integrity, to protect the rights of the vulnerable, and to contribute positively to the legal community.

🤝 I believe that by fostering a culture of ethical conduct within the legal profession, we can collectively contribute to a system that truly serves justice and benefits society as a whole. Let's be the change we wish to see in the legal world.

Every year gives us new lessons either positive or negative, most of the people asked me, What did you learn this year?

💫Reflecting some valuable lessons, I've learned this year:

🥹 Elevate your craft by prioritizing self-love; it's the foundation for meaningful creative expression. When you love yourself, your work resonates authentically with others.

🤨 Don’t copy others, copying others would not make you different from others, be your own version.

😊 Cherish every moment, every moment is priceless.

🤥 Many people will get jealous with your success, but they din't know about the dark phase of your life.

🧿 Don’t tell about your upcoming projects to others, Nazar is real.

😇 Sit and meditate before god, feel the power of prayers.

💪🏻 Prioritize quality over quantity in your content, each piece you create should be a masterpiece that reflects your commitment to excellence.

🙅Master the art of saying no, your time is precious, and sometimes declining opportunities can open doors to more meaningful endeavors.

🎯 Challenge yourself by stepping out of your comfort zone, Growth and innovation happen when you embrace the unknown and push your creative boundaries.

💪🏻 Consistency is the heartbeat of success in the digital realm. Stay dedicated to your craft, and success will naturally align with your creative journey.

🎓 Considering a law degree?

🤔  Reflect on your "WHY." The legal profession offers fame, name, and money but demands hard work and capabilities. First-gen lawyers face unique challenges, requiring resilience but on the other hand Second/third-gen lawyers benefit from family insights but should carve their path.

 💪 Success in law demands hard work, discipline, dedication, enthusiasm, and consistency. Hustle, think outside the box, and be adaptable. Law school lays the theoretical foundation, while passing the bar demands practical application and a deep understanding of legal principles.

 🌐 Acknowledge the evolving legal landscape. Adapt to new technologies, legal developments, and societal changes. Successful lawyers continuously update knowledge, embrace innovation, and cultivate a forward-thinking mindset.

🔍  In conclusion, pursue a law degree with genuine passion, a commitment to continuous learning, and a desire to contribute meaningfully to society. Challenges in law school and passing the bar are real, but the rewards are significant with dedication, integrity, and a sense of purpose.

Feeling incredibly honoured to have had the privilege of meeting Justice (Retd.) Indira Banerjee when she was presiding as a sole arbitrator in an arbitration proceeding. Her exceptional knowledge, professionalism, and commitment to justice was truly inspiring. Witnessing Indira Banerjee Mam preside over the arbitration proceeding and navigate complex legal matters with fairness and integrity was a remarkable experience. Ma'am is the most humble lady I have ever met in my life. The way Ma'am handled the situation during the proceeding and the calmness she showed during the heated arguments is one of the best lessons I learned from her.
I am grateful for the opportunity to learn from such a distinguished legal mind.

 Thank you Justice (Retd.) Indira Banerjee for your invaluable contributions to the legal system and for imparting wisdom that will undoubtedly shape my own journey in the field.
