 INTRODUCTION

Importance of Internship Diary

Education programs for law students have been of great advantage to them. The objective
of such programs is to provide an understanding of the human, social and policy contexts
of law and legal practice. This objective is met through the Legal Internship. Internships
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 the understanding of law in action, as you are able to observe and perceive
the relevance and application of theory to practice. Consequently, the program is not
simply ‘work experience’ but a significant educational experience.

In a workplace setting one will be exposed to the reality of the practice of law in all its
dimensions –

1) The integration of different areas of law, policy issues;

2) The application and development of skills to the analysis and resolution of client
concerns;
3) Ethical responses to situations which arise unexpectedly and spontaneously;
4) Issues of professional responsibility including responsibility to clients and case
management;
5) The operations of the government and court system in the legal process.
6) These subjects provide the theoretical knowledge and ethical framework
necessary for you to appreciate the operation of the ‘law inaction’.

 FACTUAL AND ANALYTICAL EXPERIENCE ABOUT THE INTERNSHIP

During the span of one months of my internship in the Chamber of Ms. Sakshi Kaul, I
visited several courts to observe various stages of all types of cases like civil, criminal,
POCSO, Insolvency, arbitration, and debt recovery cases.

I had visited to many different court proceedings. I have attended plenty of case
proceedings with Ms. Sakshi Kaul and she taught me many things about the court.

We also did discussion on various matters when reaching to court like what the matter
is, how he will be going to represent the case before the Hon’ble Bench. Many times, I
had to sit in the court and listen to other matters so that I must get the knowledge about
what is happening in the court. In many cases I have also took the next date or pass
overs as we had plenty of matters in a single day.

LEGAL INTERNSHIPS ARE PRIMARILY RESEARCH AND DRAFTING

RESEARCH:

Research constitutes an important aspect of any internship whether it is a law firm or a

court internship. Hence one needs to be well acquainted with various legal research tools,
the prominent being Manupatra, Lexis Nexis, Westlaw etc.

DRAFTING:

Drafting skills require lots of hard work and patience. One needs to be well versed with
the various drafting specimens and formatting skills in order to undertake and complete such
assignments properly. Apart from these, assignments may include proof reading of various
legal documents, observance of court proceedings, making notes on various legal issues etc.
and other task depending on the nature of the internship.

7
 • During the 30 days of my internship, the things I learned during my
internship can be enumerated as:

1. FRAMING OF CHARGES:
As my Lawyer has office in New Delhi, he and his junior lawyers handle the matters at
Trial Court Level also. So, I got the opportunity to witness the process of framing of
charges. For the purpose of framing charge, therefore, the Judge is to consider
judicially whether on consideration of the materials on record, it can be said that the
accused las been reasonably connected with the offence alleged to have been
committed and that on the basis of the said materials there is a reasonable probability
or chance, as we normally call it, of the accused being found guilty of the offence
alleged. If the answer is in the affirmative, the Judge will be at liberty to presume “that
the accused has committed an offence” as mentioned in Section 228 of the Criminal
Procedure Code for the purpose of framing charge. On the contrary, if the answer is in
the negative for want of sufficient material, the Judge shall discharge the accused as no
charge can be framed.

2. CROSS EXAMINATION:

I also learnt how Cross examination is to be done. While cross examining the witness
never allow him/her to be confident ask them twisted question so that they become
nervous and are not able to answer properly. My Lawyer had asked mostly leading
questions which we were recently been taught in the Class.

3. CLIENT INTERVIEWING:

I was also given the opportunity to sit during discussions with clients. I observed that
my Lawyer listened him patiently and allowed him to finish. He asked some
questions from the client in order to get the full facts and to get the clear picture of
the client’s case. After listening the patiently, my lawyer assures the client you no
need to worry case is in our favors or going in our favors.

I learnt that Lawyer must ensure the client that he is listening and also understanding
his situation. Lawyer can reflect these by noting the points and by interacting with the
client. I witnessed the counselling related to the matter of getting possession back of
the property and divorce matter.
8
4. FINAL ARGUMENTS:

I learnt that it means the final statement of a professional debate, or the conclusion of
a speech. It takes place only after both sides of the case have presented evidence and
examined witnesses to the lawyer’s satisfaction. Sometimes this process takes up a
few hours, but depending on the case and the specific charge, proceedings can go on
for days, weeks, or months. The only aspects remaining of the proceedings after the
closing statements have been delivered are the jury’s deliberation, followed by the
delivery of a verdict. Both the content and the delivery of a closing statement are
incredibly important, because it is the last thing a lawyer can say to the jury or judge
before a final decision is made about the case.

 CONCLUSION

In the end, I would like to opine that the real legal practice is different from the theoretical
version of law which we study. Without exposure to the real world, one cannot understand
the analytical and positive application of law and jurisprudence and the actual function and
structure of law. What we study is the body, but what we have learned from this internship is
the mechanism of this body and how this body works.
I was surprised to see how the simplest of laws were applicable in the most difficult of
situations and how loopholes leave so much scope for evolution and improvisation today in
this field. I was surprised to see how the simplest of laws were applicable in the most
difficult of situations and how loopholes leave so much scope for evolution and
improvisation today in this field. I also observed that law is everything but constant with the
same soul as that of a human. In other words, or as that of our counsel, law may come and
law may repeal, but they must always stay true to our original values, and in case of laws,
they must always be faithful to the Constitution, which is the most Supreme law of the land
and governs all equals and unequal in respect of each other.

With a vote of thanks and gratefulness for reading this report thoroughly and for giving me
this wonderful opportunity to grow my vision in this field. I conclude this report with a great
lot in my mind.

With Warm Regards,

Yours Faithfully
