Monthly Current Affairs Strategy for Judiciary

Current Affairs plays an important role in many Judiciary exams, especially RJS, UPJS, MPJS, DJS and other state PCS-J exams. While the weightage varies, most states ask questions on important national events, legal developments, Supreme Court judgments, and government schemes. A month-wise preparation strategy helps you stay updated without feeling overwhelmed.

1. What to Study in Monthly Current Affairs?

Judiciary exams do not ask every news item. Focus on these areas:

• Supreme Court & High Court judgments
• Important Bills & Acts passed by Parliament
• Appointments to Constitutional/Legal positions
• Committees & Commissions
• Government schemes related to women, children, justice, safety
• Legal developments and amendments
• Major national events
• International legal updates

2. Best Sources for Monthly Current Affairs

• PIB (Press Information Bureau) – Most reliable
• The Hindu or Indian Express – Legal & policy coverage
• PRS India – For Bills and Acts
• LiveLaw / Bar & Bench – For judgments
• Yojana & Kurukshetra – For social issues

Avoid UPSC-style bulky magazines — Judiciary exams ask crisp, factual questions.

3. How to Make Monthly Notes (10-Minute Method)

Use the “5-5-5 Rule” every month:

• 5 important judgments
• 5 important laws/policies
• 5 major national events

This creates a neat monthly file that you can revise anytime.

4. How to Cover Supreme Court Judgments

For each judgment, note:

• Case name
• Issue involved
• Court’s holding
• Why it matters

Even 10–12 major cases per year are enough for Judiciary Mains.

5. Monthly Revision Strategy (Very Important)

• Revise your monthly notes on the 1st Sunday of every month
• Highlight only what is still relevant after 3 months
• Make a separate “Top 50 CA List” for Prelims

6. Current Affairs for Prelims vs Mains

Prelims

• Direct factual questions
• Acts, schemes, judgments
• Less descriptive

Mains

• Use CA to enrich essays and answers
• Judgments improve legal reasoning
• Social issues strengthen GS/Essay papers

7. Annual Compilation (Very Helpful)

At the end of the year, you should have:

• 5-minute notes on 12 months
• A list of Top 50–70 judgments
• A summary of major government policies

8. Current Affairs for RJS, UPJS, and DJS

• RJS: Moderate CA, legal-heavy questions
• UPJS: CA + social issues heavily tested in essays
• DJS: More legal awareness + judgments

9. Quality Over Quantity

You do not need 400-page magazines. Monthly 4–5 pages of filtered notes are enough for Judiciary exams.
