Career as a lawyer in Pakistan

A legal system exists in every civilized society to safeguard people’s rights, interest, and their life and property. To run the system successfully there needs people who can understand the laws, interpret and explain them to the common people. There come the jobs for lawyers. Career as a lawyer has always  been a respectful option in the civilized societies in the world. An advocate is one who speaks on behalf of another person, especially in a legal context. He is licensed to practice law, learned in the law; as an attorney, counsel or solicitor; Lawyer profession involves the practical application and knowledge of acts, rules, statutes and laws of the land to solve people’s problems, or to advance the interests of those who hire lawyers to perform legal services. The role of the lawyer varies significantly across legal jurisdictions.In today’s rapidly changing world progress and development have been made almost in every profession.  It results creation of large number of opportunities for individuals. Legal profession has no exception. Law  jobs in Pakistan can be seen in national dailies regularly. In the legal profession, lawyers have many options over the course of their careers. Besides private practice, they can always aspire to becoming a district attorney on division level, assistant district attorney on district level.  Jobs for lawyers are offered as Advocate General in the High courts and as attorney General in the Supreme Court. Many other career  opportunities for lawyers are also available in legal profession like public prosecutor, government counsel, corporate in-house counsel, administrative law judge, judge, arbitrator, law professor, or politician. There are also many non-legal jobs which legal training is good preparation for, such as corporate executive, government administrator, investment banker, entrepreneur, or journalist. A large organization offers jobs as legal advisor and lucrative remuneration is offered for the job. In developing countries like India and Pakistan, a large majority of law students never actually practice, but simply use their law degree as a foundation for careers in other fields. Lawyers generally structure their legal education around their chosen specialty; the boundaries between different types of lawyers are carefully defined and hard to cross. After one earns a law degree, career mobility may be severely constrained. The legal profession is not rigorously bifurcated and everyone within it can easily change roles and arenas.
 
Specialization in Law
In many countries, lawyers are general practitioners who will take almost any kind of case that walks in the door. In others, there has been a tendency since the start of the 20th century for lawyers to specialize early in their careers. In countries where specialization is prevalent, many lawyers specialize in representing one side in one particular area of the law; thus, it is common in the United States to hear of plaintiffs' personal injury attorneys.
 
Lawyer’s fee or earning
Lawyers are paid for their work in a variety of ways. In private practice, they may work for an hourly fee according to a billable hour structure, a contingency fee (usually in cases involving personal injury), or a lump sum payment if the matter is straightforward. Normally, most lawyers negotiate a written fee agreement up front and may require a non-refundable retainer in advance. In many countries there are fee-shifting arrangements by which the loser must pay the winner's fees and costs. Lawyers working directly on the payroll of governments, nonprofits, and corporations usually earn a regular annual salary. In many countries, lawyers can also volunteer their labor in the service of worthy causes through an arrangement called pro bono (for the common good). Traditionally such work was performed on behalf of the poor, but in some countries it has now expanded to many other causes like the natural environment.
Before adopting the legal profession, one thing must be kept in mind that earning don’t start from day one.  But continuous and regular hardworking can make a lawyer a successful person.  There are legal aid lawyers who specialize in providing legal services to the indigent; legal aid specialists are practically nonexistent.

Furthermore magisterial powers were delegated to the Administrative Officers on District Magistrate and Sub-Divisional level to hear criminal cases.    Special courts were also established from time to time to hear special cases.  Labour courts were set up to hear industrial worker cases.  Federal Shariat court was established in 1998.

Online Schooling

Isn't it amazing situation how education has changed over the years? Who would have thought that online schooling would become an option? And a perfect option it is for many people.

Just imagine first that you are an older person for example who needs to work to support your family but would really love to gain that degree that you have always wanted to ensure a promotion or perhaps a new job.

Investing in Your Education

To Learn or Not to Learn that is the Question first?


I asked here this question to know what his back ground was. I wanted to know if he was someone who is just winging it or if he is taking this business seriously. I am talking about what effort someone spends while looking to expand their wallet.

I know here that you can make money with hard work. But I am talking about working smart! Smart being the more you learn from other peoples experience rather than from your own trial and error the better it is. And amazingly enough, it is cheaper as well. Some people are good at learning from others via books, lessons, courses programs, or personally watching people make it big or analyzing the trail of mistakes they made.

An Education Grants Aid Opportunity

Education is for most people  a right not a privilege. Probably the reason why the government and other institutions realized here that having a strong educational background and foundation is of great importance and that financial aids must be provided to those who are in need and to those that are unable to finance their education.

One of these financial aids here is the education grants. These are the awarded to organizations that have shown excellence and have significant contribution to the education of children adults, disabled or even immigrants.

The primary objective of educational grants is to provide aid to individuals or groups with financial need and award these grants to those who have shown merit to education institutions.

An Education In The Arts

For some people here art is just something you put on your refrigerator doors. It is something you have to do for schoolwork, or to while your time away. In truth, there truly is something beneath the surface of art that will tantalize every student and teacher. And this is the truth behind art education.
What Is An Education In The Arts?
Ans: Art Education is the means by which a student gains an understanding of form and design. An education in the arts is typically divided into three areas - the fine arts, such as music, drama, sculpture or painting, the general arts, programs such as education, criminology, etc, and design, such as graphic design, web design, or interior design.

Question: Why Arts?

Distance Learning Education Degree - for Career Advancement

Getting Ready For Home Schooling Your Child

If you are  you thinking about home schooling your children? Are you thinking if that is the right thing to do? Do you need more information on home schooling and the curriculum for a home school?

Every parent goes through the same set of questions when they are exploring home schooling as an option for their children. Like everything else here, home schooling too has its own advantages and disadvantages. However, taking an important decision here like this is not an easy task for any parent or guardian. They need to check the suitability of home schooling for their children. And they also need to check if they would be able to provide the required dedication for home schooling of their children. Yes, it's very true that home schooling is almost like a full time job (rather, more than a full time job).

Here you are trying to setup a small school for your child (which is by no means a small task). You need information about the home schooling curriculum. You need to fulfill various statutory requirements. And you need to arrange for everything on your own. In such a scenario, you need access to a lot of information and resources that can help you with the task of home schooling your children.

The Benefits of Mainstream Education

Education is often rejected in preference of privatised education by the wealthy, and is thought of as a more rounded education for the next generation. By paying expenses and the extortionate tuition fees for private education, the impression is that if the quality and performance around exam time reflect the value paid to produce more academic pupils with a better chance in life. But how does mainstream education weigh up against privatised ones, and can it possibly provide the same level of value as private education? In this article, we'll look at how mainstream education levels up against the private education system, and the benefits of mainstream schooling for your child.

Mainstream education here, or state education as it can also be referred to, works on the basis of education of a community of children.

How To Pay For Your Tuition With An Educational Grant

If you recognize the value and idea of having a post secondary education but are having a hard time coming up with the funds to get yourself through. A financial grant is one way that you can get yourself up to several thousand dollars in aid money. Grants, unlike other forms of financial aid, come with the added stipulation that you do not have to pay them back! While grants are great it's no so easy to get them, I hope this article will help educate you on how to go about getting a grant.

procedure for Qualifying For Educational Grants

There are many conditions that apply to grants, of course. You didn't think you were going to get something for nothing did you? First of all, you must prove that you are in financial need. Grants are awarded only to those students that have demonstrated their family income level is below a certain level. There are also grants offered by corporations to benefit certain minorities and disadvantaged groups of individuals.

Apply Early Also, Apply Often

It never hurts any one to apply for an educational grant. Who knows, you just might get it! Of course, you can't just phone a school up and apply, you will be required to fill out several complex application forms. Some grant applications also require a written essay. For the essay we recommend you spend some time and do some research online to try to figure out what kinds of essays tend to do well. Try doing a search at your favorite search engine using keywords like "How to right a grant essay" or something similar. You might surprised at what kind of helpful information you will find. It's also a good idea to keep good record of all the grants you have applied for this can be done by simply setting aside an big envelope with all your grant applications and the contact information of each.

Grant Application Forms

Most of the time, here you can find application forms posted online so there is no need for you to visit the institutions yourself in person. This form is more commonly known as FAFSA form or the Free Application for Federal Student Aid form. You just have to fill up the FAFSA form and this form is consequently evaluated by the government. With education becoming more and more expensive, it makes the most sense for you to try and lower the costs as much as possible and applying for grants (even though it's a lot of work) is worth it as it only cost you time.
