Ahaha. No. No.
You are not required 8 years of legal education. Since it is the same in India (India also has BCom LLB and BSc LLB apart from BA LLB which are five years degree courses), let me explain. Basically, the five year degree courses are fused undergraduate courses which have direct entry after school and are usually attended by full time students, while Sitara has already nearly completed her three years Bachelors degree (Bachelors is not 2 years long, the minimum has to be three years, otherwise it is called a diploma). Since the minimum requirement to enter the three year LLB is Bachelors, Sitara definitely is at the tail end of her third year. The 5 year of education is a minimum requirement to practice law, not the maximum. Basically, if you have anything less than 5 years of higher education and not enrolled in an LLB or BA/BCOM/BSC LLB, you are not eligible to practice law in either India or Pakistan. The thing is 5 years courses are hectic. You are essentially doing two degrees at the same time. So, until and unless people are really sure that they want to go into law, they do not pick this option. Another down point is that you only get the degree at the end of the 5 years, so essentially for 5 years you do not have a degree. The only advantage is that you complete your degree in five years instead of six years in the case of Bachelors (3 years) + LLB (3 years). This is helpful to those who want to go into judiciary because you have serve as a court advocate for a eligible period (it is 7 years in India) before they can even appear for the lower judiciary exams. The earlier you enter judiciary, the more time you have in service and that more time for promotions and thus reaching the top. Considering how cutthroat judiciary posts entry can be, even one year makes a hell of a difference, especially when you consider service seniority. Conversely, when you go for 3 year LLB, you already have a degree. Plus, unlike the five years one, the three years LLB paces out your education. It is far less hectic. I have seen people working full time and at the same time, working towards their LLB. Most people in corporate actually prefer the three year LLB. Why? Because it allows you work experience. So, by the time your LLB ends, you are already part of the workforce. BCom followed by a 3 year LLB is actually the preference amongst a lot of corporate tax lawyers. The fused BCom LLB is not very good at teaching corporate structures alongwith corporate law.
So, yes, she will probably be working. I hope she works in Junaid's business. That would give her some space while it also protects her. I want her to bond with Saba as well especially since the latter is an expecting mom now. They will be so cute. And yes, I think Sitara will be planning to run away and her threats to Salar are to prevent him from ruining her plans.
