Story of Indian Youngsters in Law : Version 2026

Do you know drafting ? He has been collecting formats ; collecting formats is not drafting. If a client has to pay Advocate because Advocate will collect the draft from someone else then client would not pay for drafting. Client would go and collect the format from the same source and would save money of drafting. Clients spent heavy amount on drafting and those who do actually drafting always charge heavy. 

What have you been doing ? I prefer going to Courts (it's clerical work to do drafting or research) where at least I can be noticed. Well, because it is easy to roam around whereas in drafting you have to slog in research you have to slog. I have been presuming that those who draft or do research instead of roaming around in Courts are actually fools. I also feel that there is no need to do drafting because formats are available everywhere and I obtain formats and do editing and claim that I have done the drafting. Roaming is not Court appearance ; it can be a ruse to avoid getting into drafting/research. 

Seniors pay less. Well, do you ever think about exploiting law students by taking work from them for free [in name of internship] by telling that the work of law students was not useful [or by telling that you were teaching that law student]. If that's the case, senior is justified in exploiting you by paying you nothing or paying you less than what you deserve.

My name was not there in Order ; only seniors' name was there. Experience says that Judges are more considerate towards younger Advocates. If you have argued correctly, Judges ensure younger Advocates' name is there in Order sheet. If you were not there or you were there carrying files with your best attire expecting your name to be mentioned in Order sheet, you're wrong to expect your name. Standing with best attire or even saying "My senior is on legs in other court" hardly qualifies an argument. 

My senior doesn't pays me for "expenses". You must have been trying the same trick you try on clients by asking for "expenses"(When you are unable to fetch money due to legal skills) ; senior knows the game. He knows that the amount that you claimed was spent was actually not spent ; he refuses to pay your false expenses and he was right. 

I should be paid by my senior based on my lifestyle. Well, it's wrong. Some people think that they should stay in a house with rent of Rs. 3000/- ; some stay in a house of rent of Rs. 15,000/- some would stay in a house of rent of Rs. 30000/-. Your lifestyle which you think is "reasonable" are actually a shosha ; the pay depends on what's your work output and not what's your lifestyle. If lifestyle would be the basis, then people who have their house on rent at Nariman Point knowing nothing about law should be paid more than a person who stays in Dharavi knowing exactly and everything about law. The logic of lifestyle based pay is certainly made by unethical and cruel people with exploitative mindset. 

There is discrimination between first generation and second generation lawyers. At the same time, I am fine with bringing cases because my non-lawyer non-judges parents are influential and due to their influence I am able to bring cases [after all, influence of non-lawyer parents even if I have no merit is fully justified]. 

I have done LL.M. still I am paid less. Bhai, you can have 100 other degrees. Pay depends on what is your work output and not because you have paid huge amount on doing 100s of courses.
