In a world increasingly defined by debate and diplomacy, Bhaavya Jain discovered early how words can shape justice. An alumna of Apeejay School, Pitampura, she participated in multiple MUNs, debating issues like human trafficking and refugee rights. Now joining National Forensic Sciences University for a BBA LLB course, she speaks about her evolution from a school delegate to a future legal professional.
You were deeply involved in MUNs in school. How did they influence your academic and career path?
MUNs were transformative. They challenged me to understand global issues, frame logical arguments, and see things from different cultural and political lenses. Over time, I became fascinated by diplomacy and justice. That passion organically led to my decision to study law—because I realised I wanted to be part of the system that resolves such conflicts in the real world.
Which MUNs and committees stood out the most for you?
Each experience was unique, but some stand out—my participation in the UN Human Rights Council, United Nations Development Programme and the Commission on the Status of Women (UNCSW) in Class 11 was especially powerful. I represented countries like Belgium, Denmark, Netherlands, and Rwanda. Debating topics like women’s rights, refugee crises, and human trafficking left a lasting impression on me.
How did preparing for MUNs build your legal mindset?
MUNs honed my research skills, taught me diplomacy, and pushed me to think critically. I had to write position papers, understand international laws, anticipate counter-arguments, and work toward consensus. These are core skills for any aspiring lawyer—and MUNs gave me a head start.
You’re about to begin BBA LLB. Why did you choose this particular combination?
While law was my clear choice, commerce during school sparked my interest in management. A BBA LLB program allows me to explore corporate law and business strategy along with legal studies. I wanted to keep my options broad—whether I choose courtroom practice or the corporate world later on.
What does law mean to you personally?
To me, law is a powerful tool for justice. I believe in giving a voice to those who are often unheard. Law isn’t just about rules—it’s about advocacy, empathy, and resolving conflict with dignity. It’s my way of contributing meaningfully to society.
What advice would you give to the next batch of students?
Embrace the challenge! It’s human to feel overwhelmed at times but believe in your capacity to handle it all. Focus on learning and you will progress faster than you think.
Where do you see yourself in ten years?
Practising law in the initial years, gaining courtroom experience, and eventually moving toward becoming a judge. It’s a big dream, but one that drives me every day. I hope to be someone who interprets the law with fairness and compassion.
