The graduates of law are in the highest demand because of their legal knowledge, critical thinking, and oral capacities. You might have even heard people saying “lawyers are the ones who can convert black into white and white into black.” Lawyers are often criticized by this particular statement the essence of which is understood wrong. The statement tries to convey the message that the lawyers have that intellectual capacity which can even convert the black into white and vice-versa; it doesn’t mean falsifying the case.
Law is the set of rules which regulates the behaviour of a person and prescribes punishment for the ones who act against that legal order. The state makes law through legislative, implements through executive and interprets through the judiciary. Judiciary is the law interpreting body. People go to the court for getting justice and demanding for the perpetrators to be punished.
