Brian Herbert & Keven J.

Anderson, in Dune: House Corrino, quote that: Laws are

dangerous to everyone, innocent and guilty alike, because they have no human
understanding in and of themselves. They must be interpreted.

I come from a family where law is not merely a profession but a tradition in itself. My
parents have been the trustees of a Law College in India. A career in law is thus a natural
and instinctive calling for me. My interest in legal principles and study of them got its
foundations during my 12th standard (known as A-Levels in the UK). Whilst studying
scientific subjects during my 12th Standard, I realised that as the study of scientific
principles helps us understand the basis of nature, likewise the study of legal principles
helps us understand the core principles that lie behind the law and the society that is
created in presence of it. The study of scientific subjects like Physics, Chemistry, and
Maths developed a habit of logical reasoning in me.

After completing my schooling from India i.e. 12th standard from CBSE (Central Board of
Secondary Education), in May 2019, I did brainstorming for a number of days and came to
the conclusion that I will do my Bachelors in Law from the UK because of the quality of
legal education, the history and the way the development of common law took place in the
United Kingdom. The idea of uncodified law and no book as the constitution has been
absolutely fascinating for me, it provides you insights into each step towards the
development of law and has an unlimited nature.

I started my journey of studying law at the University of Leeds, in September 2019, where I
initiated my degree i.e. LLB, which will be completed by July 2022. During this first phase
of my journey, I have felt that my foundations of law have been cemented and my
understanding of the law has been enhanced many fold. The merit scholarship of £ 2500
granted to me by the school of Law on the basis of my academic performance in the
first year, has been a confidence booster for me. I have also learned that there is no
exact answer to any sort of legal problem, the only deciding factor is the critical analysis of
the facts and the employment of relevant principles/precedents. The tutors at the
University of Leeds have not only given me directions but have also made me realise my
particular specialities and interests in the area of civil law. I have also learned about the
importance of legal research and the methods that help us perform one. The teaching
pattern at the University of Leeds had included presentations and research work, which
has shaped me and developed my skills in the field. Furthermore, the degree at the
University of Leeds has made me interested in mastering the civil subjects of law.
According to me, to utilise my current foundational knowledge of law and to question some
of the principles of law, in the future, I must do my masters in law. Therefore, my interest in
law as a subject has increased since the LLB degree has begun. My study for the LLB
degree has made me competent and confident enough to talk and address issues related
to law and society.

In 2020, I started a YouTube channel, named, ‘Being Researcher’, on which I addressed

Legal Issues in India and in the World with a sense of humour, in a mixture of English and
Hindi so that the rural human can understand what the core aspect of the issue is. On the
YouTube channel, I addressed issues like the ‘George Floyd Homicide’, ‘Terms, and
Condition in Mobile Applications’, ‘Force Majure’ etc. Due to the YouTube Channel, I was
interviewed by Sumaya Ahmed, Community Architect at that time at the University of
Leeds, the same interview on me starting a YouTube channel was printed on the
University of Leeds’s Newsletter Week 9(w/c 23rd November 2020).

Currently, I am in the last semester of my LLB degree and am looking to take admission in
the LPC course at your prestigious University. The reason behind doing an LPC is that
despite having constructed a strong foundation in law it is of no good until and unless it is
used to create a deeper and wider understanding of the law. One of the reasons behind
doing an LPC is to take a further step towards fulfilling the five years study requirement of
the Bar Council of India. According to me, LPC prepares us for an international career and
makes us realise our interests and narrow down our specialisation. It sometimes also
helps in creating legal networks. The LPC course offered by your prestigious University
has modules in which I have great interest, particularly in International Business Law &
Intellectual Property and Information Law. The quality of education that your University
provides is well renowned. For the betterment of my profile, it is necessary to get an
education from a reputed University like yours.

LPC at your prestigious institution is an internationally recognizable qualification which is

very much desirable in the competitive legal profession.

My immediate plan is to do BPC after LPC so that I can hone my legal communication
skills. In relation to my career, I am looking forward to practising as a lawyer in the UK, as
well as in India.
