Does topping a law entrance exam/ law college have any bearing on how successful you will be as a lawyer?

Hello, Well, scoring a top rank at law entrance exam doesn’t have to do anything with your career as such. Also, the ranks in college do not matter. However, you are judged bases on your percentage in your college but believe me that does not declare your abilities. For a lawyer, you need to know the law well with all details and cases and also, you must be thorough with substantive as well as procedural law and the advocates act of India. For a successful lawyer, you need to have an articulation capacity of next level and you must be witty enough to handle the case, client and situations. It is not necessary that a topper can do all. However, at a Law school if you do a lot of moot court practice that would be the best help. Every mooter is not a topper and vice versa. So, at a law school, you must focus on moot court competition which would help you build the base for the career as a lawyer or advocate. Also, as a lawyer, you just need to know and apply law.
