Having a digest of important Supreme Court and High Court decisions helps better understand the practical application of laws. It enhances your ability to cite relevant case laws during the exam.
6. Legal Language Books
Proficiency in legal terminology and language is crucial for the AIBE. Books focusing on legal drafting, conveyancing, and language used in legal settings can be very beneficial.
7. Online Legal Databases
Access to online legal databases can be beneficial for researching case laws, statutes, and legal articles. These databases often provide up-to-date information and insights into recent legal developments.
8. Legal Magazines and Journals
Regularly reading legal magazines and journals helps keep up with current legal scenarios, recent judgments, and expert opinions on complex legal issues.
9. Study Groups and Online Forums
Participating in study groups or online forums can facilitate discussion and debate on challenging legal concepts and recent cases. This collaborative learning can clarify doubts and deepen your understanding of the subject.
10. Mentorship from Experienced Lawyers
