First Day Formalities, Infrastructure, First Impression

The first day was like a trial by fire. I was asked to appear before a judge and ask for an adjournment on the very day of my internship but I was well-guided and so it all went well. The chamber was well organized and structured. 

Main Tasks

The main tasks included drafting petitions, applications, legal notices, etc. I had to attend court proceedings and mediation proceedings as well. Other tasks included filing various forms and documents, conducting case research, case management, etc.

Work Environment

The work environment was pleasant and amicable. Athar Sir as well as other associates and interns were very supportive and understanding. I was allowed to make mistakes and learn from them.

There was no communication barrier as such and I was able to ask as many questions as I wanted. The workdays were not too rigid, I was able to get leave for my academics as well as other personal necessities. 

Good things

The good thing about this internship was that there was a lot of learning, I couldn’t have asked for a better court internship as my first offline internship.

The chamber dealt with a wide range of cases of varied nature, so I got a lot of exposure and experienced the procedures involved in different types of cases.

Another positive thing was that during the course of this internship, I visited all the district courts of Delhi, the High Court, the Supreme Court as well as the Central Administrative Tribunal.

Bad things

I had no such bad experience during this internship. I had a great time learning and experiencing Court life.

Accommodation & Conveyance to Office 

I used to travel to the chamber and court with Athar Sir in his car or by metro. I would meet him at his residence and from there we used to commute together. 

Stipend

The internship was unpaid but I did get reimbursed for any cost incurred by me for case-related work.

Anything Else?

I accompanied Athar Sir to various webinars and functions such as the farewell ceremony of Justice L. Nageswara Rao organized by the SCBA. I attended various high teas and parties organized by the legal fraternity.
