Dear Sir
I am 55 years old a retired Banker with 33 years of service experience. I intend to do LLB 3 years course to practice as a lawyer.
Would like to know is it worthwhile to do LLB and spend 3 years and practice thereafter . How easy or difficult it will be for me to establish my practice considering there are veterans in the field for years. Or to work with senior counsel and earn living . None in my known circle is into legal profession.
Also , after passing at the age of 58 what other options are available for me for livelihood other than normal practice as I intend to work till my health allows.
Kindly advise should I take this step of pursuing LLB or not.
Thanks

A man may study at any age. You are retired Banker, you can easily understand the course. After completion of LLB, you have to register as Advocate in any State Bar Counsil. Eventhough there are veterans you may start practice. but it is advisable to join under any legal Firm to get knowledge as well as seniority.

First get admission in the LL.B. Course, simultaneously join a senior practicing advocate and get enrolled in your Bar Council. There is no age bar, dearth of knowledge, research (legal) learning and earning besides acknowledgement of social service.
