Chamber of Advocate Anil Pratap Singh, Former chairman of Bar Council of Uttar Pradesh, at Bar Council Building, District Court, Lucknow.

Duration of Internship

1 st May 2019 to 31st May 2019 (1 Month) 

How did you apply ?

I had sent my resume through email to [email protected] and it got selected. 

• Being a law student, during the studies of different acts, sections and cases I analysed that with the theoretical or bookish knowledge, it is also important to have practical knowledge regarding legal field which will help me during my litigation as well as for securing my future. There were several objectives I wanted to work on throughout my first year and internship gave me the opportunity to fulfil all those objectives. I decided advocate’s chamber because I wanted to gain practical knowledge and personal development in legal profession that I planned on obtaining during my internship. The purpose was to visit the courts so that I can learn, how the arguments between the advocates used to be done during the court proceedings and how they mould themselves for winning the cases.
• The main reason behind such internship was to learn the proper manner in which the documents are prepared for any matter and how to write efficiently and effectively in a short period of time. For learning communication skills so that I can develop myself for arguments in moot courts and mock trial as well, to become an active person and can develop the skills of leadership because these are the most important thing for being a successful advocate and I thought that without an advocate’s advice I would not be able to learn such things. The thinking of advocates is different, they have analytical thought so my purpose was to develop these skills further i.e., to change my thought process to see an issue from a different angle than before. My purpose was to learn that how the information should be gathered from the plaintiffs, defendants, witnesses and victims etc. and also, to learn the basics of legal research and how to take initiative for any work assigned. Moreover, how to develop skills of dealing with different types of people and cases because in legal profession the caste, creed, colour does not matter for an advocate the thing is to try their best for providing justice to their clients and to understand the legal system.

The purpose of every internship is to familiarize the student with the implementation of the knowledge which they learned on the campus. Through my internship, I observed that Practical knowledge is different from theoretical one, which a student receives at an institute. During my internship, I learned a lot about the action and documentation taken in the court. I was explained to crush every subject and this report is an overview of the things which I have learned. 

Information in this internship report is collected from the things I learned during my internship with the working procedure and the report focuses on some important aspects of the law and the legal sector which I got through the internship period. 

First day Formalities, Infrastructure, First Impression

About the organization.

The practice of organization was completely based on litigation. It deals with criminal, civil, Income tax, consumer, Negotiation and other matters.

• The chamber was at Bar Council building, Civil court. I was asked to introduce myself to the whole staff of chamber. The court’s chamber consisted of several staff members who works as junior advocates under the internship officer. Later on, I submitted the recommendation letter to them which was provided to me by College authorities.
• Formalities in the chamber were near about to zero. It was very informal because I was free to ask anything and could take any file of the chamber for reading without anyone’s permission.
• As far as formalities are concerned, I was only required to come in law uniform. First day formalities were such that I was supposed to be there but not known with the fact that what I had to do there. So, I was made to sit in the chamber of the Advocate under whom I was interning. Looking around, I saw that the chamber was airy and orderly which gave a good sense right at the start.
• On the very first day of my internship I had to give a brief introduction to them about myself and answer them a few questions of law and future planning of my career.
• On the very first day, excitement of visiting the court for the very first time in my life and anxiety of facing many advocates together. When I visited the court premises, that was a surprise for me because everything was different which I used to watch in the movies. There were various court rooms began with the name plates stuck on the wall in sequence as judge’s name, designation.
• The district court at times becomes so unpredictable that I was confused in the manner the case files rotates. The advocates have to keep on moving from one court room to another court room. The court room of district judge is of classic infrastructure. There were well furnished docks that is where the prisoners are made to stand in front of judges during the proceedings. 

It was a full-time internship for the duration of 4 weeks. I had to reach the chamber at sharp 11 am each day. During my internship, Lok Sabha elections were going on so sir asked me “whom do you support and why?” I replied to his question and he just said ‘Ok’. We even had a little tour of the court where we were shown the Courtrooms, the proceedings, Judges, victims, criminals etc.

I was asked to visit the courts on daily basis and was supposed to attend the mediation proceeding, bail hearings etc. They used to give me the case files of different matters and initially I was not able to understand those case files, so they helped me to understand the case files easily and told me that which document I had to read first and then another.

I learnt the methodology of preparing the documents and also observed that how the first information report, charge sheet and issues etc. are framed. I used to assist the assistants in different types of work like drafting, preparing issues, researching and reviewing. After some period of time, I was asked to prepare case briefs on different topics and to do research on a daily basis on issues relating to Criminal law, Civil law, Consumer Laws etc.

I was also accompanied by the internship officer to various courts for a better understanding of the proceedings and the manner of litigation. 

Work Environment

The chamber’s environment was very harmonious and all the advocates were very responsible and focuses on their work. The conduct of my internship officer was zeal, he always tried to explain to me the environment of the court. They were highly professional and used to familiarize me with the working procedure of the court. 

When one was given work, one was expected to do it with all seriousness and intelligence. All were very helpful and kind regarding everything. The behaviour and attitude were very friendly of all the advocates towards me and their guidance was always provided me at every step in the court with any member of the staff.

Each day, interns were asked to share their views regarding the question asked, and also to assist them in drafting and in other legal works. Personally, I got to interact with all the Advocates in my sir’s chamber and each one had something helpful and instructive to tell. The younger lawyers were also very friendly and on every occasion of the firm, I was invited and made to feel comfortable.

Good things

There were a lot of good things during this internship which is as follows:

• Internship certificate
• Letter of Appreciation
• Exposure to the litigation world
• Learnt about Criminal, Civil, Motor Vehicle and Family Laws
• Learnt about manner of Documentation
• Done huge amount of research on Criminal laws
• Understanding of practical aspect of legal filed
• Frank behaviour of advocates

There was no bad thing as such but the biggest problem I faced during my internship was that there were so many cases on the pendency in the district court.

No stipend was provided as this was only an internship to learn the practical aspects of the law. 

Accommodation, Commuting to Office

During the period of internship, I used to reside at my sister’s PG. It was at Nishad ganj, Lucknow. The court was far away from there, hence used to go through bus or auto as transportation facility in that area was outstanding.

Basic Requirements for the Internship

• A diary along with pen
• Must eager for research and gaining knowledge
• Must done with daily task with diligence
• Recommendation letter from college
• Basic knowledge of MS word, PowerPoint etc.

Last day Formalities

On the last day of my internship, the internship officer asked me about my experience and feedback, so I replied that from the practical point of view, I really have enjoyed my internship at District Court and it will obviously be helpful for me in future.

It was perfect for me to have much exposure to the working of the legal system in the society and it gave one a fair idea of the working of the country’s legal system. I was able to fulfil the objectives which I planned for obtaining during my internship. Later on, sir gave me the internship certificate and letter of appreciation. He enlightened me with his words of knowledge and blessings.

This topic can be visualized as long as you desire. Start from the expectations/mindset or presumption when you had to visit a lawyer;s chamber for the first time. Give words to your thought and when you entered in the chamber then what did you saw may be the second paragraph. Then you may touch the presence of the litigants, their behavior, the case which was being discussed there, how and which dealing impressed the lawyer and you, with whom you talked, how much time you remained there, what transpired in your presence there and ultimately when you left, what was your impression may be the points to be touched in your topic.

Advocating for Change: Transforming the Future of the Legal Profession through Greater Gender Equality

Lizzette Robleto de Howarth (nee Robleto-Gonzalez)

Overcoming the barriers that prevent women from entering and progressing in law is an imperative for the future of the profession. However, the legal sector will not be able to provide suitable responses to gender inequality without first having a deep understanding of the global barriers that limit the career progression of female lawyers. Political will and strong commitment from all relevant stakeholders, including firms, businesses, clients, bar associations and law societies, are also essential components to success.

Cab Rank Rule Research Summary Why this? Why now? In May 2012 the LSB commissioned Prof. John Flood (University of Westminster) and Prof. Morton Hvvid (University of East Anglia) to carry out a literature review analysing the impact on the market of paragraphs 601-610 of the of the Bar Standards Board’s (BSB) code, otherwise known as the ‘cab rank rule’. The LSB published The Cab Rank Rule: Its Meaning and Purpose in the New Legal Services Market on 22 January 2013. Since at least the 17th Century it has been an important principle for the Bar that everyone who might benefit from having representation should have access to a suitable barrister. More recently this desire to ensure access to justice, of which representation is arguably a crucial element, was enshrined with the Legal Services Act 2007 (“the Act”) as one of the eight regulatory objectives. However, while the formal cab rank rule is clearly aimed at ensuring access to justice, it might equally be argued that its requirement for each individual barrister to offer services to all, could act as a barrier to barristers looking to specialise. As far back as 1776, when Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations was published, economists have been aware of the wider economic benefits specialisation can deliver for an efficient, competitive market. Thus the cab rank rule could potentially both undermine its own aim to improve access to justice (by reducing opportunities for specialisation and so the provision of niche services) and also damage other regulatory objectives, such as to promote competition. While paragraphs 601-602 of the BSB’s code sets out the core principles of the cab rank rule, paragraphs 603-607 outline a series of exemptions and exceptions to the rule, perhaps recognising that its absolute status is less relevant in 2013. The fact that so much of legal aid work, where access to justice may be thought paramount, is exempt serves only to highlight this tension between principle and rule. In practice therefore the impact of the rule on the regulatory objectives is complex, and the LSB believed, worthy of closer analysis. A further reason for undertaking this study now is the desire of the BSB, in the context of the Act, to move from a regulatory framework based on highly elaborated rules to one more closely aligned with the outcomes set out within the Act. This itself raises a number of questions for the cab rank rule. Could it be reframed as a principle? What impact does the rule currently have? What would happen in the absence of the rule altogether? This research paper considers these issues and more through an analysis of the available literature, supplemented by interviews with the profession. The findings The report found no evidence of the rule being actively monitored or enforced by the regulator. In terms of impact, it could not be shown that it ensured representation. There was little evidence that it was understood within the market: indeed specialisation by some Chambers arguably demonstrated that the rule was regularly breached. That is not to say that the principle itself of representation for all was not followed in spirit by the profession, but just that is it not clear whether the desire to offer representation is driven as much or more by the professional principle or by economic calculations. It certainly would seem that, in England and Wales at least, clients who at one time may have been considered unattractive e.g. terrorists are now, through the wider publicity benefits they might offer, perhaps somewhat more attractive than many other types of client. In the end the report seeks to probe the future benefits of a rule, which while having significant professional benefits, is limited in its practical application? The range of exemptions and exclusions, including those barristers offering direct public access, already limit the practical scope of the rule. Whether measured by complaints or disciplinary findings, the authors argue that there is no evidence that the rule is applied beyond a general desired professional principle. The report concludes that, as the profession moves from a rulebook to a code of principles or outcomes, it would seem appropriate to consider whether the cab rank rule could similarly be moved to a principles basis. Here the report noted that the New York State Bar Client Rights number 10 provides one possible model: “You may not be refused representation on the basis of race, creed, color, age, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin or disability.” If modernised to reflect our national perspective on protected characteristics and supplemented with the additional protections that “you may not refuse to provide representation based on the popularity or otherwise of the client, case/crime or defence” the report provides one basis for the retention and reform of the cab rank rule in line with the strong ethical foundations that underpin the Bar. The LSB will be interested in hearing the views of stakeholders, both professional and consumer, on the report’s analysis and its suggestions for the way ahead.

The village planning (VP) intervention is a government of Uttar Pradesh and UNICEF India initiative, implemented by the Sarathi Development Foundation in Lalitpur district of Uttar Pradesh, India. It is a five-day participatory exercise which aims to empower the community with the skills to identify the problems it faces and to build bridges to service providers in order to solve those problems. With great justification, the VP intervention is widely seen as a success. Since the successes of village planning are extensively documented, the research team set out to explore three questions that remain unanswered. These are: 1) Firstly, whether the success of village planning in generating demand for services is matched by a similar improvement in service delivery? 2) Secondly, whether the benefits of the village planning intervention extend to sociallyexcluded groups? 3) Thirdly, whether the benefits of the village planning intervention will be sustainable once UNICEF and the Sarathi Development Foundation withdraw? http://www.kcci.org.in/Document%20Repository/41.%20village%20planning.pdf http://www.kcci.org.in/_layouts/ContentManagement/KnowledgeRepository.aspx?DocumentType=Case+Study

Name, College, Year of Study, Email ID

Nikita Kaushik, a Second-year student at Geeta Institute of Law.

E-mail id- [email protected]

Name of Organisation

Chambers of J.B Sharma Chamber no. :295 3rd floor lawyer’s Chamber complex, District court, Panipat.

Team Strength

J.B sir has six associates and two researchers who work for him in an office big enough to accommodate 12 people. While I was interning there were 5 other interns at the office.

Application Process

I came in contact with J.B sharma sir through one of my friends. I had contacted sir only based on the aforementioned friend’s experience. The influx of internship applications increase by day and I personally saw sir refuse a few applicants. I suggest you apply at least 3 months in advance. You can apply by sending a mail to me.

Duration of internship and timings

I interned for a month from the 06-7-2016 to 26-72016. The work hours are just like any other office where litigation is taken seriously. The day begins in court at 10 am and if there are no post-lunch matters then get ready for a hard day at the office till at least 8 pm. J.B sir does not force anyone to stay beyond that. Every intern is allowed to leave at any time they wish. But that does not mean the internship is lenient. J.B sir wouldn’t disallow you to leave but he has a keen eye and if you default regularly. If you do that, you can forget about leaving a good impression. There’s no time boundation per se, but real learning would only happen if you stay and work harder than you can. There were interns who used to leave by 8 pm, and there were ones who stayed until 11 pm at times. It’s up to the intern how much effort he/she is willing to put in.

First Impression

The first day at work was an eventful one. I was asked to turn up at small Court. I met J.B sir outside the courtroom and was asked to accompany him to the dais as our matter, was up for hearing. It’s a privilege to observe J.B sir argue. While the other lawyer was getting thrown off his game whenever the judge intervened, sir maintained his calm and always composed himself before beginning his argument. He’d also make sure he wouldn’t speak anything if the judge wasn’t paying attention to the counsels. Outside the court, I was asked to carry a file and a diary of dates. He carried another file and another diary. He could have easily given me the other file and the other diary as well. He treats you like a fellow human being which is (sadly) rather difficult to observe these days. After the other matter we drove to the office in his car. CRPC While I had a vague idea to the answer to every question, he remembered every section down to the last word. I learned more in that car ride than I do in a month of classes at college.

Tasks can vary from going through case files and marking statements for the purpose of cross-examinations to taking notes in a client meeting and drafting a Written Statement based on the information received from the client. Since the intern would get to draft he is allowed to clarify any doubts he might have. The intern would email the draft to one of the associates who would make the necessary changes and finally, it would reach sir who’d scrutinize it. The task allotted would depend upon the intern. If the intern is capable of a task of difficulty X, sir would allow the intern with the task of difficulty X+1. He’d always be there for clarifications but would never give you the entire answer. How else would you learn?

Several times I was asked to research a certain topic and when done I would be quizzed on it. The questions are to test the whether the knowledge is from understanding or from mere reading.

Work environment and people

The office felt like home on the first day itself. J.B sir would make you laugh all the time and while the associates (especially Anoop sir) would not look at you while they are working, but the moment they get free you’d get to laugh more because the ambiance is just damn friendly. There’s no reason anybody would feel out-of-place at the office. Always be ready for random legal gyaan coming your way from someone or the other in the office! If you make mistakes, there’s no reason to be scared of a quintessential legal scolding. J.B sir believes in giving second chances. He’ll explain you where you were wrong and how to correct it. If you mess up often, he’d stay mum but you’d be losing his trust one mistake at a time. Throughout the day sir will interact with you, ask you about yourself and share his own stories, both legal and personal in nature.

Best things

The work ranges from all facts of law. You’ll find yourself in heaps of work. You’d also get to draft which is a massive learning experience in itself. Bad things The timings can be of issue to some interns. #Litigation

I did not get stipend

Accommodation

I am from Panipat so that was not an issue.

Biggest Lessons

Drafting is to litigation what an engine is to a vehicle. Pardon me for the terrible analogy but cheers if you get the point.
