Public Policy: Lawyers have an important role in formulating and advising on public policy. Several organizations employ law graduates for policy making and have institutionalized fellowships where law graduates can be Research Assistants. For example, a law graduate interested in public policy can apply to serve as a Legislative Assistant under the Legislative Assistants to Members of Parliament (LAMP) Fellowship programme run by PRS Legislative Research. Institutions such as Competition Commission of India and Securities Exchange Board of India also employ law graduates for policy making in the respective fields. Law firms have established Government Policy Departments where they employ law graduates for policy research.

Centres for Legal Process Outsourcing (LPOs)  have a lot of transnational transactional work.

In 1987, the first National Law School- National Law School of India University (NLSIU) was set up in Bangalore. Its establishment marked the beginning of the reform of legal education in India. There are now 17 National Law Schools in India, with more being planned. 14 of these now have a common entrance test- CLAT (Common Law Admission Test) which tests logical reasoning, legal reasoning, English and comprehension, legal knowledge and general knowledge.
