Webinar on emerging careers in law | ‘Strong foundation in general law essential for students who opt for specialisation’
The Hindu
‘Court and legal system are where the basics of law operate and students should start from there’
Law students, who want to practice in specialised areas, should first build a strong foundation in general law, experts opined.
At a webinar on emerging careers in law hosted by The Hindu jointly with Sai University on Wednesday, panelists said without getting to know the basic civil law, civil procedure or criminal procedure, it is not going to be easy to deal with specialisation. They further said court and legal system are where the basics of law operate and students should start from there.

When fed into Latin, pusilla comes out denoting “very small”. The Baillon’s crake can be missed in the field, when it is at a distance, as the magnification of the human eye is woefully short of what it takes to pick up this tiny creature. The other factor is the Baillon’s crake’s predisposition to present less of itself: it moves about furtively and slides into the reeds at the slightest suspicion of being noticed. But if you are keen on observing the Baillon’s crake or the ruddy breasted crake in the field, in Chennai, this would be the best time to put in efforts towards that end. These birds live amidst reeds, the bulrushes, which are likely to lose their density now as they would shrivel and go brown, leaving wide gaps, thereby reducing the cover for these tiddly birds to stay inscrutable.
