Hey everyone, currently I am a sixth sem LLB student (3 yr) course, and I will soon pass out by July-August. I currently have a part-time flexible content writing job for a popular sports website, for which i draw a salary based on how much I write. After passing LLB, and then eventually passing my bar exam, can i still continue with this content-writing thing as a side gig while i practice as an advocate?

I write about esports content if it is relevant, and the website in question is Sportskeeda.

Whether you can continue with your side gig depends on the specific terms of your employment. As a lawyer registered with the Bar Council, you are prohibited from being a full-time salaried employee of any organisation. Therefore, it is essential to review your employment contract and the relevant Bar Council regulations to ensure compliance.

That being said, freelance content writing on a contractual basis should not be an issue. However, if you are a full-time employee, you will need to quit or alter the terms of engagement.

I am not a full time employee, and I have extremely flexible hours. I do have a quota cap of how much minimum work I need to do. That said, I think I understand what you mean, I just have to ensure the regulations are complied with. Thank you so much!
