1/ Thread (8) Young Lawyers who want to learn Criminal Law without help of any guide or mentor, may consider following points.

2/
1) Criminal law is a "Tacit Knowledge" (Knowledge that is learned by doing a task. Just like learning to ride on a bicycle. Here the whole body learns the skill when a job is actually being done.)

3/
2) To learn from a case, you must have access to some actual record of a criminal case.

1/ (7) Young lawyers often feel stuck in their career. They may try following exercise.

This exercise is called "20 Sentence Completion Exercise"

2/ Write, "I feel stuck in my life because ........ ".

Then complete this sentence 20 times. This will take out all worries from your mind and will put them on paper where you can see them.

3/ Then write, "I feel unstuck because .....".

Now, complete this sentence 20 times.

Here are some examples which have guided me :

1/ (5)Young lawyers may find it helpful to keep a "Chronicle of Mistakes".

In young age, we are bound to make mistakes. After a hearing is over, we have lots of second thoughts on what we could have done differently to win the case.

2/ But by then, the bus has left. We feel sorry and guilty.

Following point can be remembered to reduce stress of discovering our own mistakes.

3/ "It is okay to be wrong. It is okay to commit mistakes. I showed up and I tried. And that is what it matters. "

It helps to keep a Chronicle of mistakes or a Learning Journal, to record what we could have done differently.

1/ (4)Young lawyers need to be clear about their fee policies.

I hear lots of juniors who complain that clients exploit them and pay them very low fees.

Following point can be remembered to reduce stress of being paid low fees.

2/ "Fee is not always in cash. It can also be rewards of other kinds".

Since 1982, my fee policy is :

"Whatever you can pay. You should be comfortable. And I should also be comfortable. You should not expect me to spend from my own pocket".

3/ My definition of "My being Comfortable" kept changing upward as my clients base grew.

Let me know if this suggestion is helpful and practical.

Thread (1 to 13) "Sir, how to write judgements? I am preparing for #judiciary exams" asked a final year law student.

1/ I have no idea whatsoever about how judiciary exams are being conducted and what types of judgements they want candidates to write in exam.

2/ But this post can give you my perspectives on judgement writing.

First, in your mind, replace word "Judgement" with word "Opinion".

3/ A trial court's Judgement is only a Trial Court Judge's written opinion about case before him.

Thread (1 to 8 ) 1/ A liftman in my chamber building recently committed suicide. We are taught in colleges that Law is considered science of social engineering.

Then can we explain position of law relating to suicide of this liftman ?

2/ He was in his 40th year. He used to salute me everytime I enter and leave lawyers chambers. Like all other lawyers, I also used to give him tips. But then nothing more.

3/ When I heard about his sudden suicide, I first time realised that he too was a human being with emotions. So far I used to see him only as a liftman.
