Advocate & Law Firm

This role is most suitable for experienced legal professionals (Advocates/Law Firms) possessing a Bachelor's degree in Law and registered with the Bar Council of India or a State Bar Council. Candidates must have at least 5 years of professional experience in handling cases for educational institutions or government bodies, specifically in the Supreme Court, High Court, and District Courts, across various legal domains. Strong communication skills in English and a solid understanding of both civil and criminal law and procedure are essential for effective representation.

Individuals seeking conventional salaried employment should not apply, as this is an empanelment for professional legal services, not a permanent job. Those without a minimum of 5 years of relevant legal practice experience, or who are not registered with the Bar Council, will not meet the eligibility criteria. Applicants unwilling to adhere to the prescribed fee structure or JNU's terms of engagement, including submitting applications offline in the specified format, will find this opportunity unsuitable.

Empanelment with Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), a premier central university, offers a prestigious opportunity to provide crucial legal services to a significant public sector institution. While it is not a fixed salaried position, it provides an excellent platform for experienced legal professionals to engage with important public sector cases, enhance their professional reputation, and contribute to a leading educational body. The initial engagement is for two years, with potential for extension based on satisfactory performance, offering consistent work with a reputable client.
