SCHOOL OF LAW STUDENTS EXPERIENCE PROCEEDINGS OF THE HIGHEST COURT OF LAW IN DELHI

Working under an Advocate of Supreme Court, visiting and observing the proceedings of the HIGHEST COURT OF LAW in India and the Principal Bench of National Green Tribunalevery day for a law sophomore is like being on cloud nine, but behind the scenes, there's a lot of research and analytical thinking involved in drafting and presenting the cases before the esteemed Judges, whether it be assisting the advocates through legal research or assistance in drafting special leave petitions, appeals and transfer petitions or it be assistance in filing counter-affidavits, rejoinder affidavits and other applications like application of precedence. Everything needs to be done in a perfect manner so that the nexus to the object of the work I.e. learning how things in the highest court of law proceeds, is accomplished.
