Over the last three years, we have built a network of Campus Ambassadors across more than fifty law schools all over India. These law students provide us with information on campus events and activities, as well as share legal articles.
This series of interviews is meant to turn the spotlight on these hardworking and dedicated individuals.
In this edition, we speak with Kushal Garg, a third-year law student at the Jindal Global Law School.

Why did you choose to study law?
Law is something which can be said to be applicable/present in all fields through some way or the other – be it (formally) following rules and regulations, or (informally) accepting terms and customs. Importantly, it is a powerful tool coupled with the word ‘justice’ which can also bring about ‘change’.
Being a young ambitious student wanting to impart goodness around and explore different fields, it seemed as a possible path offering variety of avenues under a single broad roof. All in all, an ever-supporting family also plays a crucial role and helps in choosing the appropriate thing!
What made you apply for the Campus Ambassador post at Bar & Bench?
The final work output here, at Bar & Bench, is beneficial – not only for the professionals in the legal domain, but also for law students, and even aspirers. The thought of being a part of such a platform was indeed motivating, delighting and honoring, in-turn allowing to boost oneself further in the chosen domain. This opportunity was ‘hard to miss’, purely!
What are your plans after completing law?
Fortunately, or unfortunately, there is still no concrete decision vis-à-vis fixed plan post-law as of now. Although it sometimes sounds and feels a bit concerning, it can be a good (or even great) thing as well.
This is because being unsure of a fixed arena or niche allows one to explore different avenues and options with even greater ‘zeal’ and mindset – rather than restricting oneself only and only to that one chosen path. In short, hoping for the best!
