    Now, one and all who are somehow associated with the sphere of law must know this man. He is the famous Ram Jethmalani. This man is titled to possess exceptional knowledge of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 and also the Law of Evidence. he’s claimed to be one of the awesome criminal lawyers of the country. He’s the highest-paid lawyer within the country, charging up to Twenty Lakh Rupees per hearing. He first came to light from the K. M. Nanavati case. He was also the Law Minister of India and was also the President of the Bar Council of India. Some of his famous representations are:-

    • Harshad Mehta Stock Scam
    • Ketan Parekh Stock Scam
    • Indira Gandhi’s killers’ defense
    • Rajiv Gandhi’s killers’ defense
    • Jayalalithaa’s defense in disproportionate assets case

    His Law School is S. C. Shahani Law College, Karachi. You see whats common here, all of those people I’ve mentioned are exceptional jurists, and none of them are from any National Law Universities. The only thing that matters is how skilled you are in practicing law. The difference between a National Law University and a traditional law university might be the schools, the extracurricular events, maybe at some level the extent of education they supply. Being an NLU student just gives you a foothold over a Non-NLU student. One can easily bridge this gap up by working hard. The only thing that matters within the field of law is your skills.
