कानूनी पेशे में डार्विन का सिद्धांत।HINDI
Darwin’s theory is that ‘Survival of the Fittest’. It means that only fit person will survive and others cannot survive in this world. This theory very much implies to the legal person also. It is true that only professionally fit person alone can survive in the legal profession and others cannot survive.
Though every lawyers are entering the profession, only very few of them continue in the legal profession, and others leave the profession in the middle. One can survive in the legal profession, only he acquires the good qualities of Advocacy, immediately after joining the profession. If he fails to do so, he will compelled to leave the profession when others lawyers who possess the qualities of Advocacy are leading in the profession. So one should keep it in mind and act accordingly to get the good qualities of Advocacy.
