Work Profile/Main tasks

As an intern, I was associated with preparing case briefs, case notes, date and event sheets and case lists. I was also asked to research case laws realting to various fields of laws including Code of Civil Procedure, Land Consolidation Act, 1948, Wakf Act, 1954 and so on.

Files were transmitted to us of the upcoming cases, that we were required to prepare, read and study, followed by vigorous discussions with Manoj Sir himself. At one time, one case was only transmitted to an intern and he/she was required to work on it until its ready as if to be argued in the Court next day.

Work environment

The work environment of the office was highly disciplined, organized and interactive. But on the other hand was lively and placid place to work as well.

Good things

The best thing about this internship was the interactive attitude of Manoj Sir and his associates towards the interns. The interns were required to report directly to Manoj Sir rather than any of their associates. Though the associates and even the clerks were very helpful to the interns in completing their assignments. The confidence shown in the work of interns by sir and constant encouragement towards working hard and learning new things boosts the morale of the interns.

Bad things

There were no bad things as such to be found.

Stipend (if any)

No stipend but lessons learned and experience gained during the internship is worth it.
