ABSTRACT :

The general phenomenon which has become prevalent quite recently regarding the hardships faced by young Indian lawyers and advocates has yet not been resolved but has actually touched great heights. The field of law is itself a standardized profession where apart from knowledge , recommendation and references can only take individuals to those places where it is generally not easy to reach .Being a highly demanded career option , it has become a generational practice where a whole family comprises of members from the legal fraternity. Prolonged reliance on seniors too can hinder growth and delay the formation of an independent professional identity. To overcome these barriers, young advocates should look beyond traditional career paths and pursue opportunities to establish their own practice.
