How can I become a Criminal lawyer in India?

First of all you need to get an LLB degree to start off with your career as lawyer in India. If you are in high school and have decided to take law as full-time career ahead, go for integrated courses offered by reputed institutes these days. This 5 year integrated course gives you a graduation degree plus the LLB degree too. But if you're already a graduate, you must go for 3 year LLB course and pick your field of specialization. Like in your case, it is criminal law.

First of all, you need to complete a 5 year law course I. E. BA LLB or BBA LLB Bachelor's degree program or 3-year LLB Course. In five/three years of course, you will study several criminal subjects like evidence law, Criminal procedure code , Indian penal code and forensic sciences in the college itself. Then you should start interning with good criminal lawyers in district/high court lawyers. After graduation starts your independent practice. I will tell you about my senior who after completing the graduation started working with senior advocate in Delhi high court as an associate. He worked with the senior advocate for three years. Now he is setting up his independent practice in Delhi district court. I think that this is the best option to start with the criminal practice and become a criminal lawyer.

To build your career in the criminal law field, you must start practising in the district court and criminal law tribunal as that will help to build a strong foundation of criminal law and will help you to get through cases easily.
