PRACTICAL TRAINING
In Order To Produce Better Lawyers It Is Very Much Essential That We Should Train Them With Necessary Skills And Good Etiquettes In Addition To Providing Them Sufficient Knowledge To Conduct The Cases. While Theory Classes Are Sufficient To Gain The Necessary Knowledge, The Other Two Can Be Gained Only By Practice. In This Direction, Practical Training Is Very Important. It Is Also Necessary To Give The Students Experience Of Conducting The Cases Entirely, Not Just Arguing Them. They Should Know How To Get Information From The Clients, Preparing Notes, Drafting And Filling Of Pleadings, Production Of Documentary Evidence, Examination And Cross-Examination Of Witnesses, Arguing The Cases, Etc. They Should Know All The Stages Of Different Types Of Cases. This Also Perfects Their Knowledge Already Gained Through Theory Classes.
With The Above Broad Objectives In Mind, We Conduct Practical Training To The First, Second And Third Year Students. As The Practical Training Is Part Of The Syllabus, Participation In The Same Is Compulsory.
