Law Education in West Bengal

Law has been one of the most sought after careers among traditional Bengalis. There are many traditional families in West Bengal where law has been pursued by people through generations. However, these days young students who do not belong to such a family also opt law as a career. One of the reasons is because law gives more options other than the traditional ones like criminal and civil law. There are options like corporate law, legal publishing, law reporting and so on. Skills like good judgement, logical reasoning and good communication are essential features of a lawyer. A lawyer in West Bengal and elsewhere is always looked upon with respect and awe. Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) is the most common exam for law aspirants to get into the top colleges. Calcutta University also conducts its own law entrance exam for admission to its affiliated colleges. West Bengal National University of Juridical Sciences, Faculty of Law University of Calcutta, Jalpaiguri Law College and Hooghly Mohsin College are some of the important law colleges in West Bengal.
