There is no sure shot formula to become any kind of lawyer in India or otherwise. However, one can take the following steps that may work in favour of establishing your career as a Human Rights lawyer. 1. During your time at law school, make sure you opt for the subject of Human Rights as you elective to get a theoretical understanding of what the subject is all about and what all it will encompass. 2. Try and choose internships and apprenticeships in NGOs that work in your area of interest in the field of human rights (child rights, rights of women, rights of refugees, domestic workers' rights, etc.) to build a good CV and also to gain a practical knowledge of the field that you are interested in. 3. After law school, try and focus your energies on getting a job with either a lawyer who practices in the field of human rights, or any NGO/law related institution like HRLN, Lawyer's Collective etc. depending on your interest. 4. You could enroll in a diploma/certificate course in Human Rights to boost your CV. 5. An LLM in Human Rights from a reputed international institution may be a good idea.
