Which has a better scope and why: Information Technology Law or Environmental Law ?

IT law is still a new field in India. It involves both civil and criminal aspects and the laws related to it are being shaped with each passing day. IT law is a good option if someone wants to grow with the growth in the field, which is mostly organic, tending to recent times when cyber space has expanded beyond comprehension (because of the accessibility to smart phones, armchair journalism on social media, etc. ). And its use needs to be regulated, if not completely controlled. That being said, environmental law, just like IT law, is the need of the hour. However, to excel is a field like environment law, one needs to be motivated by a deep sense of responsibility towards the environment if they actually do want to bring about a change, as the process is slow and tedious.

From a job prospectus, in my opinion, IT law is a better option if one is looking to practice law. Even though the National Green Tribunal is doing some decent work, it really needs to up its game for an impact to be actually felt in the environment. Be that as it may, combating global warming is a global issue, the more people working towards it (and in the field), the better it is for us collectively, as a society.
