Attention all legal eagles! The Gujarat Health and Family Welfare Department is offering a rare opportunity to join their esteemed team as a Law Officer. But this isn’t just any legal role; it’s a chance to make a difference in the medical services and education sector.
The Role:
The Law Officer will be an integral part of the Commissionerate of Health, Medical Services and Medical Education, working at the state level. With a competitive salary of Rs. 60,000 per month, this position is ideal for experienced legal professionals seeking a new challenge.
Qualifications:
– A Bachelor’s degree in law is the foundation, but it’s just the beginning. The ideal candidate will be a practicing advocate, admitted to the bar, with a minimum of 5 years of experience.
– But here’s where it gets interesting: 3 of those 5 years should be spent advocating in the High Court or for government departments, providing a unique blend of legal and public service expertise.
– And this is the part most people miss: the role requires 3 years of defense work experience in Supreme/High Court cases, a testament to the complexity and significance of the legal matters you’ll be handling.
Application Process:
Online applications are open until 27.11.2025, so don’t delay! Visit the official website (https://arogyasathi.gujarat.gov.in/applyGuidLine.aspx) to apply and access the full job description (https://arogyasathi.gujarat.gov.in/CurrentOpenings.aspx).
Controversy Corner:
Some might argue that the 5-year experience requirement is excessive, potentially deterring younger, talented lawyers from applying. What’s your take? Is this a fair criterion, or should the department consider fresh, innovative minds with less experience? Share your thoughts below, and let’s spark a constructive debate!
