 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 guidance of Mr.

ChandraGupta Maurya, 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 Mr. ChandraGupta Maurya and he 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 over’s 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.

8
 • 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 has 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 beat liberty top
resume “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 allows 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.

9
3. CLIENT INTERVIEWING:

I was also given the opportunity to sit during discussions with clients. I
observed that my Lawyer listen 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
hissituation.Lawyercanreflectthesebynotingthepointsandbyinteractingwit
hthe client. I witnessed the counseling related to the matter of getting
possession back of the property and divorce matter.

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,
Nitish Chand
