INTROUDUCTION
After completion of my 9th semester, as a law student, I was required to utilize my holidays by
doing internship under either an advocate, law firm or in a NGO. So, I chose and applied under a
lawyer in civil and criminal matters.. So, here is my internship report of what all I learnt there in
two and a half months.
DAY WISE REPORT
1st day of internship I was nervous and anxious. It started with a experience. It started with a
formal introduction formal introduction with juniors. Then we further moved to the discussion of
what would I be learning in upcoming days. Then I was taught hierarchy of courts and division
of courts between civil and criminal cases. I also learned about forums, tribunals and special
types of courts and their appellate authority. I also learnt about types of cases filed in court and
the abbreviations used for the same and I also met with new juniors of sir and interacted with
them and got familiar with their history and how they joined sir. We also discussed about their
specialization and why they chose law as a profession. I got a brief idea about the working
terminologies used by them regularly in the courts and in office.
I read cases of sir which were done by him previously in the district court of Gurugram. There
were so many files in the office, I selected from the middle section a bunch of files and read
them. Some of the cases were very difficult to understand. The cases were of disposed off status.
It was difficult for me to understand and for the same I cleared my doubts from sir about legal
terms used in the case file.I learnt about provisions of article 226 and 227 of the Indian
Constitution and that were to be read by us thoroughly to mention the difference between these
two. We learned that in petitions under article 226 High Courts exercise their original
jurisdiction and in petitions under article 227, High Court exercise their supervisory jurisdiction.
I started searching about all the previous cases which were disposed off and read them. Then, I
browsed the website of District Court to know the status of those cases. After that, I read those
cases. After that, I read a case argued by sir and discussed it, which was a very learning
experience. Later, I studied some legal abbreviations like FA, WP, IA etc. IA etc.
I read many previous cases and their related documents and with the same I read provisions
under which those cases were filed and argued. It was fun to relate a real case with theories and
provisions we read and learnt.I witnessed real client discussing his case with sir and telling him
all the required details for the case, all the facts told by him were listened carefully by sir and
some of his juniors and me. Then after the client left, discussion was done on the same. Then a
brief drafting procedure was told by one of the junior of sir’s. The day ended up with clearing all
my doubts regarding the new case came to sir.
Many of the days started with reading and discussing new as well as old cases as usual. Then I
read a file of civil case. It was a good case in which judge ordered in favor of sir and client got
relief very quickly.
I started reading legal news from websites like livelaw.in and baradnbench.com. Then I also
learned about session trial, criminal misc etc. It was very interesting to know that a single Court
can hear 30 to 35 types of cases.
We went to a court hearing and I along with the advocates of the office went to the court at 10
o’clock. The proceedings started at 10:30 am. I saw cases given to sir which were listed on the
cause list of court. I met a new intern at the office whose name is Vrittant, he was also pursuing
the same course as that of mine. Introductory talks were done then we went to the court together
for the proceedings.
We’ve started one day from the court of Hon’ble Shiva Nand Singh as the case were listed in his
court. The facts of some cases listed were read by me which gave me an idea what would be the
argument about in the court.
I got to see the place where the cases and loose documents are filed; it was good to see that there
were different sections to file the cases for male and female advocates. The officials typed all the
information of the case or type information of loose documents in computers so that it can be
attached to the real documents and cases belonged to the same.
We read legal news and updates. Then we were shown format in Court rules which was format
of cases filed in court. We were also given a task to read previous orders of cases filed. We also
read some case files and their annexure.
I went to the divisional commissioner and even saw the court established there, IAS officers are
recruited as judges there to provide justice. They also keep records of every report, notice, and
application etc which is sent to them or through them. Through the party’s name or through
subject of the letter it can be found on their software.
We witnessed the proceedings of the court and met other interns of other offices and lawyers.
Many interns were seen though we interacted with very few.
We went to the district court, I sat in court of many other judges and observed the proceedings
going on of other advocates and also that of sir’s. I also got to hear judges’ advices to advocates
for their betterment.
I interacted with the clients of sir and asked questions to them which were regarding their case.
They had almost full knowledge of their case and how sir were going to tackle the situations
going to come in the court during the trial.
We met other lawyers in the court itself. There is also bar of advocates which a place for lawyers
only, more precisely registered advocates only. Lawyers have to be part of any one bar at least,
for which there are different bars with different monthly or yearly subscription or membership
fees.
I read Right to Information Act, 2005. It’s an act which provides access to the citizen to get
information from any public authority. It’s a very interesting act which has provided justice to
many people and also helped to get justice quickly and accurately.
I visited a different court which was family court. It was a wonderful experience for me to visit
that Court as many people were seen there who came for justice. The working pattern was
different of that court also it was comparatively very small in size to that of district court.
One day, I sat in the court of Hon’ble Shri Vijai Pratap and observed for almost one hour. He is a
judge of might who needs everything accurate and correct. After that I went to the court of
another judge Hon’ble Anil Kumar Pundir and observed the proceedings though the honorable
judge was not audible till last at some times. Then we went for lunch in the nearby canteen. After
that I observed the court of Hon’ble Shri Rajesh Kumar who is a very calm person, he has his
own way of doing things, he knows almost every old lawyer as he became judge of district court
directly from an advocate. It was a good day.
I went to the RTO Office for one of the client’s driving license work. We have applied for the
learning license and submitted the required documents like 10 thmarksheet , Aaadhar card, First-
Aid Certificate.
On the last day of my internship, there was nothing much for us to do. A general discussion
regarding internship experience, resume, cover letters etc the staff of the office gave best wishes
to us for the future and even said to remain in contact for future doubts.
LEARNING OUTCOME
Internship is all about practical knowledge, experience and learning. I got all these experiences
throughout my internship. Being my second internship experience, it nd internship experience, it was an
astounding one for me. I learned about various terminologies, which were all synonyms for me before
coming here. I also learned about hierarch here. I also learned about hierarchy of courts. y of courts. I
learned various practical I learned various practical aspects of law. I also aspects of law. I also learned
how to apply law who learned how to apply law which we study we study theoretically in a practical
situation. I learned how to distinguish that which type of case is a specialty of a judge. I learned about
Right to Information Act, 2005 which is a very good act for getting information from the public
authorities. And I also learned many things like court manners, where to sit in the court, how to greet
judges and lawyers. My internship covered various areas and did not confine to any particular topic. We
discussed law and other things exhaustively and shared our red our views on various other things views
on various other things we came across.
APPLICATION OF LEARNING OUTCOME IN
ACADEMICS, DAILY LIFE AND FUTURE PROFESSION
What I learned will be used in academics in proceeding years. This internship cleared a lot of my
misconceptions and distinguished various aspects of law. It changed my view to look upon
things and circumstances. The first and the foremost thing which I got from this internship is the
habit of reading legal news and updates daily which will help me in updating my legal
knowledge and build up my understanding towards law. I read the formats of different types of
documents which will help me in professional arena. This internship made me realize by
interacting with intellectuals,students and other legal professionals that this this field is all about
public relation. It will improve my language which I needed the most and it also gave me
guidance to build good resumes and cover letter which will attract a good legal attribute to me.
Therefore, whatever I learned and experienced here was very relevant, important and practical.
It will help me in my academics as well as my practical life too. Thank you!
MAJOR CHALLENGES FACED AND RESOLVED
Well, the biggest challenge was the internship itself because knowing that one will have to go
there every day for a month because you just cannot miss it. It gave me a hint of how hard life
can be and without hard work there can be achieved nothing. Because being there as an intern at
a new place is different and exhausting. Understanding and distinguishing between terminologies
pertaining same meaning was a challenge to me. I really had no idea of how I am going to keep
pace with this in long 10 to 4 routine. But later on I realized that I am learning many things and
developing the skills. And I think that I am ready to experience the same for longer duration
now. I was facing problem in reading judgments and classifying its content into various heads in
the beginning but now it has become a bit easier. Socializing with co-interns was also a difficult
task as they were from a totally different place and following a totally different pattern of life.
But later on everything went easily and nicely.
