INTRODUCTION

Law is a field wherein practical knowledge is absolutely

different from what we learn in books. Through books and our
lengthy syllabi of each semester, we are taught both the
substantive law as well as the procedural law. However, what we
are taught in the classrooms is totally different from what we see in
the court. No matter how well-versed you are in studies and how
well you score in exams, practical training is essential to gain a
foothold in this career.

The term internship refers to a stage / phase during which an

individual gets the opportunity to experience his / her industry of
interest before entering into it full time and opting for it as his / her
future career field. They are ideal for understanding the way a
particular industry functions and what it would be like to work in
that scenario.

Probably because of the above-mentioned reason, it is seen

that almost all professional courses have included a semester of
compulsory internships in their course curriculum.

I got the chance for learning the procedure of a law firm and
other legal process during the months from Oct 2023 to Dec 2023,
when I was given the golden opportunity of working with Adv.
Kishor V. Zanje.

I, as an intern personally felt that it was great to see how my

textbook knowledge applied to real world situations. I experienced
how the legal department functions on a daily basis, rather than
just reading or hearing about it. The real world situation was
completely different from the knowledge we gain from textbooks.
There were certain minute procedures that aren’t mentioned
anywhere and they could be learnt only by first-hand experience.
8

Moreover, such a close interaction with the real

9

situation helped me decide better, as to what are the possible

options and avenues that can be pursued by me in the future and
the implications of each are.

This Internship has helped me to acquaint myself better with

respect to the field of law. It has provided me with:

 Work Experience - Most students who graduate or pass out

fresh from College do not have any valuable on-the-job
experience to show on their resumes. Working as an intern
provides a student with some valuable work experience.
 Understanding of the field - The fieldwork to be undertaken
and the possible avenues the field of law holds for a
student’s future.
 Increase in knowledge- All the research work done on
various different topics assigned helped expand the diversity
and detail of my knowledge which is very important as a law
student.
 Developing useful skills (communication, writing and
researching, etc.) and gaining valuable exposure.

Pradhikaran, pune-44 started from 03/10/2023 to 30/12/2023 has immensely
been a commendable learning experience for me. The internship delivered
me insight look of the labour issues through the medium of court practice,
where I dealt with people, company management directly to look into their
problems under the guidance of my senior and other associates with the help
of them I was able to complete my internship with an excellent learning
experience. I visited Industrial Courts, Pune as per the different matters fixed
in courts in daily routine. Where I got an opportunity to appear before the
Hon’ble Judges and also to interact with the workers and to know the reason
for the commission of their disciplinary issues and worker’s that seek to utilize
the rehabilitative opportunities. Imprisonment offers, combining it with the
essential restorative justice a meeting between offender, victim and
community.

There is rule of law in our society followed in courts, is an aspect

equality before the law which suggest that no person is above law and that
every person, whatever be his rank or condition, is subject to jurisdiction of
ordinary courts.

INTERNSHIP OVERVIEW

It gives me immense pleasure to acknowledge my indebtedness and

deep sense of gratitude and respect to Adv. Kishor V. Zanje without whose
constant guidance this internship would not have been possible.

I visited following places:

1. Pimpri Chichawad Court
2. Enquiry Office
3. Labour court, Swargate, Pune
4. New JMFC Court, Neharunagar, Pimpri, Pune
5. Corporation Court, Akurdi, Pune
6. Sessions Court, Shivajinagar, Pune
7. Sessions Court, Vadgaon Maval, Pune

This Internship helped me knowing the application of law. I had seen

the interpretation, function of law in court. It does play a vital role in every
individual’s life. It gave life to those books which I have read. In democratic
India, laws are not only a written document but also implemented in court of
law.

INTERNSHIP DIARY CONTENTS

IMPORTANCE OF LEGAL INTERNSHIP

Internship is an important part of academic curriculum because this

helps us to gain practical knowledge and experience required to excel in their
respective fields. Legal internships help law students to decide their
respective areas of interest out a plethora of opportunities offered by legal
education be it a career in a corporate law firm, litigation, academics or
working for NGOs.

1. Internship is one of the modes of practical training in the sphere of legal

education. Apart from the moots, legal aid and legal writing it forms the core
component of practice acquisition and assimilation of law teaching syllabus
for the students.

2. The process of internship provides the students with an opportunity to

study and examine the structure and behavior of organizations. It shows to
them the nature of legal framework of the institutions and concerned issues.
Students get the benefit of an exposure to law in action rather than law in
books (as acquired in classrooms) and thus help them in due acquisition of
legal expertise. Legal services are the tenth most popular field choice in our
student internship program. Each year, a few dozen students from political
science, law, and other majors do short term internship in laws.
Placements can be anywhere from criminal law firms to the Department of
Justice. Here is an excerpt from a recent Internship Report.

Importance of legal internship can be summarized through following three

fold points:

● Internship provides a platform for practical application of classroom

knowledge.
● Legal internship helps in gaining practical skills and hence gives an edge
in the job market.
● Internship assists in choosing respective area of interest and hence in
specialization.
13

LEGAL INTERNSHIPS ARE PRIMARILY

RESEARCH AND DRAFTING ORIENTED

RESEARCH:

Research is 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, 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.

DAILY INTERNSHIP DUTIES:

 Supporting the lawyers that come into the office and program.
Sitting in on meetings and appointments and offering required
assistance.
 Office type organizational work – photocopying, organizing
papers, keeping files in order, organizing the desk.
 Attending the Enquiry, cross examination and punishment
process. The enquiry process is very similar to court proceedings.
 Reading any suggested law related materials for my own benefit.
 Helping clients if possible and if I am able to since I don’t know
much about the field yet.
 Interacting to various lawyers in the office.
 Research on judgments that are related to facts of case.
15

LIST OF ACTIVITIES DONE IN INTERNSHIP

1. PREPARATION AND MAINTENANCE OF A CASE FILE:

The Junior Advocates working associated with the firm, handed over
me the case file and go through it like how the documents are sequenced,
the documents need to be filed up. I learnt that the latest document related to
the case to be placed at the top. In every file the first sheet is the case
summary prepared by the concerned advocates to make themselves handy
with the events took place in a chronological order. All the pages are in one
sequence, evidence documents are mentioned number and the number used
in proceeding to identify. Properly tagged with the sticky notes on which the
heading of the documents was written, this make the arguing advocate to
refer the desired document before the court very quickly. Thereafter, I was
asked to prepare a file of a fresh case in a like manner and I did the work to
their satisfaction. I made summaries of the cases, tagged the documents
along with the dates.

2. READING OF CASE FILE:

I was asked to read case files include those which came there for
Enquiry. First time, I was unable to relate the documents placed in the file.
Then I took the assistance of the lawyers working there to teach me the
practical aspect of the enquiry proceedings, Court proceedings and what
exactly each document means. I learnt that files include various forms like
Vakalatnama, MOU, Court fee, Wage Settlement, Suspension Order; brief
facts of the petitioner along with the allegations and prayer to the court;
written statement by the respondent; affidavits by both the parties, recording
of statements of the witnesses and their cross and re-examinations.

I read case files related to dispute, Suspension pending enquiry, Court

proceedings, I didn’t remember the details of each case but I made notes of
few cases which. Brief facts of the case were: the worker produce the
rejection deliberately with intension to loss to the company and enquiry
conducted the worker agreed and apologise for his mistake afterthat enquiry
officer announce his decision in favour to management and management
give him penalty of 4 days suspension under Standing Orders Act 1946.

3.LEGAL RESEARCH:

One day I was asked to search for a case by one of the Junior
Advocate working with the Advocate , while she was preparing on case. She
told me the main points of the case and asked to search for similar
16

judgements which were held in favor of her client and also against him. That
was the first time I ever did any research before that I didn’t know what the
research is all about. In our law curriculum the research teach in 3rd Semester
now I am learning this. Thereafter I researched many times when being
asked. I learnt that in order to get the exact/similar case to our case it take so
much of labour like putting the key words in search engine of the relevant
sites like Manupatra, Indian kanoon, Supreme Court’s Site and LLR (labour
law Reporter) thereafter reading of resulted judgements with a wide array of
law books and bare acts and to find out whether the judgement is related to
our case or not be it in our favour or against and I learnt that while looking for
favorable judgements it is also necessary to look for the against judgements
so that we can work more on laying our case stronger by getting the
knowledge/hint what the opposite party may argue before the court.

4. COURT VISIT:

My Internship Advocate was asked to visit court rooms to witness the

Court proceedings on the very first day. Afterwards I got the chance to visit
several times to the Court along with him and at that time he advised me to
take note of everything that happens in a court room. I heard few cases. They
were related to Disciplinary Enquiry, Misconduct, dismissal from services,
Industrial dispute. That day I learnt how a judge entertain the arguments of
an advocate and what the mannerism an advocate needs to follow before the
court.
I visited the Court with my Lawyer. He was to represent a Closure
Case. We were representing the respondent side. It just went for 5 minutes
and next date was given, which was after 1 months.
I visited Industrial Court along with my Lawyer, there I learnt regarding
the quashing the proceedings of the closure case where the parties had
settled the matter by mutual consent and there was no survival of cases as
registered under the said sections by the State. This was an important case
for me to understand the concept of settlement.

5. FRAMING OF CHARGES:

As my Lawyer has office in Pimpri Chinchwad, Pune he and his junior

lawyers handle the matters at Industrial / labour Court. 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 respondent
las been reasonably connected with the legal closure. If the answer is in the
illegal, the Judge will be at liberty to presume “that the respondent has
committed an illegal closure” and liable for remedy as mentioned in the books
of Law. On the contrary, if the answer is in the legal for want of sufficient
17

material, the Judge shall discharge the respondent as no penalty can be

framed.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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 favour or going in our
favour. 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 suspension, termination.

9. OTHER EXPERIENCE:

I was made to read various Orders & rules there under of Civil
Procedure Code, Industrial Dispute Act, Indian Evidence Act. Thereafter, I
was supposed to explain them what I understood & then they explained me
the practical aspect of these provisions. I also learnt that filing of a case is
done at Industrial court along with documents were submitted and along with
18

court fees, which was through court tickets attached to such documents. I
also learnt that every lawyer maintains a court diary, which proved handy and
very useful as all the details of the cases were entered in the diary with
proper date i.e. previous date and next date of hearing. It proves to be useful
as respective cases are recorded by the lawyer date wise and it saves time to
think and search for the cases as per upcoming date. I also learnt that it is
important to read court judgements and keep yourself sound minded and
while dealing with a case read the facts of case very carefully and try to find
out loopholes and then use them in your favour.

10. THINGS BOTHERED ME DURING THE INTERNSHIP

Firstly, the fierce competition among advocates shows that sometimes

the profession is not just about fair representation of clients but to even
outgrow the fellow advocates. Secondly, I noticed that there is intense level
of paper work involved which further is difficult to manage for a long time
period, as was observed by me during internship that some old case files
were kept in shelves which were eaten up by dust.

CONCLUSION

One must always be interactive and in building up good contacts

with fellow senior’s good communication skill is required and try to
gain knowledge from them. On should also have basic knowledge of
Civil Procedure Code, Evidence Act as lack of it creates a bit
hindrance towards the understanding of working of the courts. And as
I was also suggested that one must carry their hard copies o the
concerned Bare acts and codes as they prove to be very helpful
during internship.

The experience was really amazing. I got to interact with a lot of

peoples and I was lucky to learn a lot from the associates. In law
School you read the law but while interning you get to apply it, so
overall, I got to learn more practical sense of law and its application
from my internship.

Thank You!!!
