How the law plays its role in the life of us and how we should carry forward it in our life as a budding lawyer and as an advocate. Law and life are interdependent to each other and they never separate. As a lawyer we have to know 7 mantras in life. Time management is the first mantra which is important in life and legal career. Second mantra is accept the false and mistakes.In legal profession everyone has to accept the mistake and they have given an opportunity to amend the mistakes. Communication involves not only speakingbut also includes drafting and evidence. Reputation is the fourth which is essential in life. Reputation is not only for life or for profession it takes a person to a great phase in his life. She quoted a book of Gandhiji "A brief Insights" for how a lawyer should have a reputation. Reading and learning enhances the knowledge of a person. Reading keeps the person to grow higher in their life.Last mantra is accept the criticism given by others. Criticism means always negative but it is a positive way in which it changes the life of a person. At Last, she concludes saying as a lawyer we have to understand that while expecting one thing , unexpected things may happen. So law and life are dependent on each other.
