Clinical education program for law students have been available for many years in some Indian
Law Schools. The objective of such programs is to provide an understanding of the human,
social, and policy contexts of law and legal practice.

Internship fulfill an important component of both academic and practical education in law. The
integration of professional experience into the learning process is highly effective in developing
your understanding of the law in actions, as you are able to observe and perceivethe relevance
and application of theory to practice. Consequently, the program is not simply “work experience
but a significant educational experience.

In a workspace setting you will be exposed to the reality of the practice of law in all its
dimensions the integration of different areas of law, policy issues; the application and
development of skills to analysis and resolution of client concerns: ethical responses to
situations which arises unexpectedly and spontaneously; issues of professional responsibility
including responsibility to clients and case management; and the operation of the government
and court system in the legal process.

Since the inception of BBA LL.B(Hons.) program at the Amity University, Gwalior, a practical
experience component i.e. internship has been part of the compulsory subject and thus of the
BBALL.B(Hons.)degree. The Legal Internship Program is not designed to teach students how
to be good lawyers (or how to be lawyers at all) it takes more than study at University to do
that. The objectives are to

• Expose you to the law in operation in contexts where you will come to perceive aspects
of law which cannot be learned from reading or hearing about it;

• Allow you to perceive ways in which the formal learning you acquire at University may
be applied in practice and thereof to develop an appreciation of the practical dimensions of
legalprincipals:

• Enable you to relate the different areas of legal practice to the importance of
developing theskills of legal research, communication, drafting, practice management and
problem- solving; and
• Enable you to observe and reflect upon the values, ethical standards and conduct of
thelegal profession in practice and to develop your own attitudes of professional
responsibility.

The classroom study and practical training in the field of law is considered as two sides of
coin. The legal profession is one of the professions which are considered incomplete without
the practical training. An additional benefit of the internship program is that ot provides you
with an opportunity to observe the way in which law operates in a practical milicu, and so
may assist you in making future career choices.
