The\nyear is 2009. A young law aspirant is selected by the National Law School. To\nmany candidates, it would seem like an opening they hoped for. But the youngster\nchooses Jindal Global Law School (JGLS) a nearly unheard-of law school at the\ntime. What makes the decision more intriguing is the fact that it is the\ninaugural batch of its BA LLB (Hons.) program. In 2019, he secures the second\nrank in the daunting Delhi Judicial Service Examination. The evidence is there\nfor all to see and the verdict is out. Dev Chaudhary is a name we are going to\nhear a lot about in the world of law. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Judicial Services Exam is entry-level tests for law graduates to become a member of the subordinate judiciary. These exams focus on Indian legal and constitutional governance and history, current developments of national and international interest, and analytical aptitude and skills of the candidate. Around 50,000 to 60,000 candidates appear for Judicial Services Examination every year with only 15-20% clearing the exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\na decade since the curious decision of taking admission in JGLS, Dev has scaled\ndizzying heights of success. It makes the decision seem like a masterstroke. He\nlets us in on his decision-making process. \u201cI had gone through the breadth and\nvariety of courses JGLS was offering. I had also studied the faculty profile\nand was impressed with it. It was the best decision I made for my career,\u201d he\nsays confidently. It has certainly turned out the way he wanted after he\nstarted his career as a Junior Advocate at the District and Sessions Court in\nHisar, Haryana. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dev\u2019s\nfirst professional stint lasted three years and set him up for the meteoric\nrise that followed. He soon took on the prestigious role of Assistant District\nAttorney in the Prosecution Department of the Government of Haryana. Working\nfor the State not only brought immense exposure but valuable experience working\non varied cases of significance. It shaped him for bigger roles and greater\ngoals. His remarkable success with the Delhi Judicial Service Examination\nfollowed soon after. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In February 2019, he joined as a Civil Judge (Junior Division)-cum-Judicial Magistrate in Punjab. Dev Chaudhary has clearly set the bar high for himself. But he is known to back up his dreams and decisions with action. As a student at JGU he made the most of his time on campus. He co-authored a paper that was published in The Indian Police Journal by the Bureau of Police Research & Development (BPR&D) of the Ministry of Home Affairs. He was also a part of Good Rural Governance and Citizen Participation Clinic offered jointly by JGLS and Cornell Law School. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excellent\nchoices need to be followed up by determined execution. Dev has done that, judiciously\nand effectively, to stunning success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
