ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I would like to thank and express my deep gratitude to Adv Vinod Sharma &
Associates under whom I completed my 4 weeks internship as a legal intern. They
have been my constant support, source of encouragement, inspiration, guided and
helped me in successfully completing my Summer Internship.

Moreover, they give me a chance to get practical exposure by attending various Court
proceedings, Client conferences, seminars and drafting under various advocates.

I would also like to offer my due sense of gratitude to all my teachers and every person
for their support and for assisting me in providing the best of all possible facilities in
completing my internship as well as at the time of drafting of this report.
OBJECTIVE
The Legal Internship Program is not designated to teach us how to be good lawyers (or
how to be lawyers at all) it takes more than studying at the University to do that. The
key objectives are to expose us to the law in operation in context where we will come
to perceive aspects of law which can’t be learned from reading or hearing about it.

Practical knowledge allows us to perceive ways in which the formal learning we

acquire at university may be applied in practice and therefore to develop an
appreciation of the practical dimension of the legal principle.

Legal Internship enable us to relate the different areas of legal practice to importance of
developing skills of legal research, communication, drafting, practice management and
problem solving and enable us to observe and reflect upon the values, ethical standards and
conduct of legal profession in practice and to develop our own attitude of professional
responsibility

construction company and BSES Rajdhani Power Limited (BRPL) jointly and severally liable for his
injuries. While it awarded ₹20 lakh compensation to be paid equally by BRPL and Bryn, it also
ordered non-monetary reliefs in Bharat’s favour. Among these are Disability pension, Lifelong free
bus and railway passes, Free physiotherapy and occupational therapy, till as long as it is considered
necessary in the professional opinion of the concerned doctors.

CONCLUSION
Pursuing this summer training I got an opportunity to get some exposure in the field of
law. Research work was the basis of my internship and included dimensions of criminal
legal experts to civil corporate litigation. All of which was an over-the-top experience.

Summer training helped me as a law student to be reborn and replenish and to explore
my bounds of training. Expertise in law comes through thorough reading which the
pre-requisite to our training was.When it comes to observance of trials in the courts, it
is one of the most essential parts of learning as an intern. Observance of trials and court
proceedings help in understanding the very root of the law in India. Proceedings are the
whole mechanism into which analysis is always advisable.With a vote of thanks and
gratefulness for reading this report thoroughly and for giving me this wonderful
opportunity to grow up my vision in this field of law, I conclude this report with a great
lot in my mind.

With Warm Regards

Yours Faithfully,

Siddhant sharma
INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCE

This internship was a complete blend of fun and work, towards the end of this internship I
could understand the functioning of courts and how litigation is done. By interning here, I
came to know that in litigation there is a lot more than just arguing in the court and exposure
in a particular field is the most important factor while determining a good internship.

During my internship I was supposed to read and analyze the cases on an advance basis as I
have to brief all the issues and facts of the cases to Sir under whom I was interning before we
move to the court for the proceeding of our case. He used to ask me certain questions that
what will you argue in a certain situation depending upon the facts only and then after my
reply he used to argue against me and used to tell me what way I can make my argument look
better and convincing in front of a judge. He also used to scold me whenever I was not
prepared with facts or issues of the case and as a punishment, he used to give me a situation
on which I must prepare a memorial. In starting I find all these tasks to be very burdensome
but gradually when I was able to see a positive change in myself, I started liking it and started
working much harder to complete any task given to me.

5 QUALITIES OF A SUCCESSFUL LAWYER

• Communication -

Strong reading, writing, and verbal communication skills are critical to the study and practice
of law. In law school, you'll need to read copious volumes of written material and then prove
your worth through written examinations and coursework. Equally important is a readiness to
participate in group discussions, moot courts, and presentations. Whether you are
communicating verbally or in writing, it's important to present arguments and ideas in an
articulate, logical, and persuasive manner.

• Research -

While you're not expected to know everything, you are expected to know how to find the
information you need. Both as a student and a professional, you will notice that preparing
legal strategies requires absorbing large amounts of carefully researched information and then
distilling it down into something useful and compelling.
 • Attention to detail-

All lawyers need to have an eye for detail. Accuracy and precision are critical in everyday
tasks. A single word out of place can change the meaning of a clause or contract, while
misspelled or grammatically incorrect emails or documents give clients a poor impression of
their abilities. You could risk losing your business if you aren't attentive to details.

• Teamwork-

While you need the ability to work independently, you also must also be an effective team
player. When you join forces with others, basic skills like respect, cooperation, and empathy
become essential.

• Time management -

Lawyers (and law students) need to multi-task often. It's important to develop a strong ethic
towards time management, so you can meet deadlines, manage court hearings and legal
calendars, generate maximum productivity during billable hours, and juggle various extra-
curricular or pro bono opportunities.

As Justice Chelameswar claimed in the NJAC judgment in his dissent, the courts ought to
amend to maintain them. The government needs to improve the common man’s quality of
living. This attitude is honorable.

Here are a few suggestions for the reformation for the judiciary system in India.

SUGGESTIONS FOR SMOOTH AND EFFECTIVE WORKING OF INDIAN

JUDICIARY

• Improve District Courts-

There must be a bottom-up approach for the reformation of the judiciary in India. The biggest
concern is with the district courts where lakhs of people come into touch with the system of
administration of justice. Many administrative improvements and ad hoc modifications at the
Supreme Court and high courts will not affect the structure until the concerns of those courts
are resolved, and the ordinary litigant will have to endure the slings and arrows of cruel
fortune.

• Increase judicial capacity-

The first thing the government can do is to increase the number of magistrates. This method
is not a simple one. It requires action at every level. The number of judges needs to be
increased including the Supreme Court, the High Court, and the lower courts. To at least
double but preferably triple the number of judges. India needs a variety of amendments,
filling up all the existing vacancies.

• Court management-

The Indian judiciary needs a dedicated branch of the registrar, administration, and
management. India today dreams to become a completely digitized society. We were, to a
large extent, productive. But oddly enough, the Indian judiciary is left behind. This would
help save a great deal of time to and from paperwork. A computerized program should be in
place which minimizes human discretion.

• Merit appointment-

By the term merit appointment, we mean that the appointment of judges must be based on
their qualification and their ability. The Indian judiciary, in contrast, tends to appoint the
judges based on caste, race and religion. It is a shame that a system that appoints judges on
these merits, and as is seen to do so, is eluding us, with two approaches being tried —
executive-led and judicial collegium-led. That is because criteria are not explicitly set out.
The perfect procedure should be a board of appointments, composed of the Chief Justice, two
senior judges and the executive members.
