My first anguish after reading the manuscript was that Avani should have been my senior at law school, which could have fast-tracked my career graph! It is a lucid, non-legalese, smart book which clears the clutter and will launch the law school aspirant's ambitions as a practitioner,  educationist, activist, jurist and policy wonk. It does come not just from a smart author but importantly from someone with experiential learning and proving to be a successful lawyer, motivational speaker and public policy enthusiast. Simply a "must" as a personal copy for not only those who are pursuing law but also for all law school aspirants.

—Prof. V. C. Vivekanandan, Vice-Chancellor, Hidayatullah National Law University

For someone who is looking for an effective mentor, I would say this book is the perfect one. It has been very meticulously written, takes a broad view of things, and yet goes down into the specifics for the more essential topics. Overall it makes for easy reading, and I would recommend every law student looking to make the most of their law school experience to get hold of a copy.

It does come not just from a smart author but importantly from someone with experiential learning and proving to be a successful lawyer, motivational speaker and public policy enthusiast. Simply a "must" as a personal copy for not only those who are pursuing law but also for all law school aspirants.
