Wajahat Jilani worked as the Secretary of Debating and Literary Club at Faculty of Law, AMU. He has been interviewed by Wardah Beg who is the Student Ambassador at EBC\/SCC Online.<\/em><\/p>\n

Q1. Please introduce yourself. Tell us something about your law-school life, hobbies and interests, your pet-peeves, etc.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am currently a final year law student at the Faculty of Law, Aligarh Muslim University . I was born in Bihar in India but for the most part have been schooled in Sharjah, UAE. I moved back to India in 2014 to answer my calling for law & the legal profession. My time in law school was memorable, I made it a point to stay busy and involved with various activities, academic and extra-curricular. I thoroughly enjoyed learning the law and there was never a dull point. At the same time, I made it a point to not be confined to my legal books and lectures. I loved debating. I was an active member of the University\u2019s debating & Literary Club (UDLC) throughout the 5 years, organizing programs and representing the university in debates all across the country.<\/p>\n

Apart from law, I\u2019m a die-hard Manchester United fan and love reading books in my free time.<\/p>\n

Q2. Were you always a law student at heart? What inspired you to choose law?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think so. Looking back, I felt it was destined. I remember once in grade 6th<\/sup>, I had raised a concern with a teacher on behalf of the class and later on the teacher told me \u201cYou should be a lawyer\u201d. Jokes apart though, my journey to law school was complicated. I had taken up the science stream in high school. My family was full of doctors and engineers and my parents aspired to see me become a doctor as well. Initially, I was amenable to the idea and decided that I would make my parents proud. However, after much thinking and analyzing my strengths and weaknesses, I came to the conclusion that behind my parents\u2019 desire to see me become a doctor was the larger desire of seeing me succeed and make them proud. I figured that while I could study medicine, I would not have the passion day in and day out to strive for constant success, as I would in the legal profession. So, I ultimately chose to not have regrets and took a plunge. Although slightly disappointed at first, my parents backed me 100% and I\u2019m glad I have lived up to their expectations so far, although I have not done much yet. Initially I would get upset by the reaction of many distant relatives when told about my decision to study law, some of them often asked \u2018why?\u2019 almost as if I had failed multiple times in grade 12. However, over time, I understood that only my positive work could answer their curiosity. I hope to do just that.<\/p>\n

I was driven to the legal profession because I felt my analytical abilities suited the field. I was always involved in leadership roles and constantly worked to reform things, and I felt the law is the most important tool in public life for bringing about positive change In society.<\/p>\n

Q3. Tell us about your debating journey. When did it start and what have you learned so far?<\/strong><\/p>\n

As clich\u00e9d as this may sound, my debating journey started in school with a rejection. I was rejected in the inter house debate competition in grade 8th<\/sup> because my \u2018voice was not strong enough\u2019. I channeled that disappointment positively and in the following years won numerous debates\/MUNs for my school in Sharjah. The highlight was that as a result of one our performances, my school was the only CBSE curriculum school invited for the UAE debate team trials for the World Schools Debating Championship. Although I eventually didn\u2019t make it, I learnt valuable debating lessons there and finished in the top 7.<\/p>\n

Moving to university, I was confident and determined to continue debating. At the same time, I did have some doubts about whether I could succeed in the Indian debating circuit and the challenges of university level debates. I remember my first debate was at Amity University, Noida on the National Judicial Appointment Commission. I was thrilled to emerge as the best speaker (speaking for the motion). Since then I grew more and more confident. I had wonderful seniors who guided and coached me. In the first year, naturally, I travelled around North India competing in various debates. In the years since, I have been fortunate enough to have won many national debates for my university. Debating was always a passion for me, I used it as an outlet to enjoy myself. It was never about just winning. Along the way I\u2019ve had some wonderful team mates, such as FawazShaheen&NeerajKaushik, without whom I could never have won the debates that I did.<\/p>\n

Through debating for the thrill and fun of it, I have inadvertently sharpened my communication skills, my reasoning ability as well my analytical skills. Over the years, my style of debating increasingly became \u2018lawyer-like\u2019 and some of the phrases I used in my debates closely resembled courtroom parlance. So I\u2019d have to say I learnt and adapted myself as I went along.<\/p>\n

Q4. How did debating help you get good internships, or build a good CV? What else did you do to build your CV?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, I wouldn\u2019t say debating directly helped. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s one factor alone which contributes. Your internships are based on a lot of things, sometimes even luck. However, I do believe that debating gave the opportunity to hone my skills and added to my confidence. There is never a strait-jacket formula.<\/p>\n

However to build a good CV, I consciously ensured that I enrolled myself in certificate and diploma courses offered by various organizations in subjects which have contemporary value and would give me an edge in the industry. In addition, I made it a point to pursue internships diligently. I had different challenges and I remember that there were days when I was tired of the rejection emails. However, it\u2019s all about trying. At the same time, I also ensured that I worked very hard during these internships. It isn\u2019t just about adding a pointer on the CV, I tried to acquire as much knowledge and skills as I could and to leave a positive impression. I take the fact that at two firms, Afridi& Angell in Dubai & ShardulAmarchandMangaldas (SAM) in New Delhi, I had the opportunity of multiple internships, as an indicator of my good work. I also wrote both research papers for journals and conferences as well as legal articles, some of which have been published on the Wire.in. I don\u2019t believe I succeeded in completing all the goals I set out for building a good CV, but I do know that I gave it the best I could give. I\u2019ll continue to do so.<\/p>\n

Q5. How did you balance consistent debating and your role as the secretary of the UDLC and other literary activities with your law school?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, balancing between academics and extracurricular activities as well as the various leadership roles I held was a challenge. I would be lying if I said it has been a bed of roses. I got into my fair share of troubles and bad books. However, I believe the only reason I was able to manage a decent academic performance and excelling at the other activities was because I enjoyed both. It never really became a burden for me. Moreover, I was blessed to have a great bunch of friends and colleagues who made it easier for me to run the club, organize events and even study together. Most importantly, no matter what I was doing, I tried to constantly remind myself about my short and long term goals, of not getting distracted with high praise or criticism, or the lure of politics for that matter. I think, the little success I have achieved in University is as much because of what I did not do as it is because of what I did do.<\/p>\n

Q6. What is some advice you would give your juniors?<\/strong><\/p>\n

First and foremost, I would advise them to not take my answers as the gospel. Everyone has a different way of doing things. What works for me may not work for you. At the same time, I would definitely say enjoy your time in law school but do so constructively. I spent most of my free time either debating or training debaters but I do hope it will help me career-wise. I would also advise them to set goals and then be focused on them. Sometimes the length of the course is such that one may tend to procrastinate. Try not to.<\/p>\n
