How did you Apply?
I applied by visiting the Administrative Centre at DLSA, Ambala
First-Day Formalities, Infrastructure, First Impression
On the first day, I visited the Front office and mediation center in the ADR center, Ambala City. The infrastructure was quite good and impressive. The office for Legal Aid Defence Counsel was newly made in the ADR center. It was a different experience for me.
Main Tasks
There were numerous tasks which were assigned to me during my whole internship. It included the Central Jail visit, District court visit, mediation center visit, Juvenile Justice Board visit, etc. which all helped me to gain my knowledge in the legal field.
Work Environment
The work environment was very much satisfactory for me. All the officials were kind and supportive of me as an intern. The Staff included experienced persons in the legal field which was nice. I met many panel advocates during my internship and all were very respectful and humble.
Good things
There were many good things I felt but one of them was that if in case the advocate assigned to you for the day was unable to come then the other advocates were very kind enough to take over the responsibility. This is not seen everywhere but at DLSA, Ambala it is.
Bad things
The only bad thing I felt was that the internship at DLSA Ambala City, Haryana could be only done once and it cannot be done a second time. Other than this sometimes advocates were not that punctual of their time as per the schedule assigned. But this could be even due to their busy schedule.
Accommodation & Conveyance to Office
There is no such problem of accommodation and conveyance at DLSA Ambala city. Public transport facilities are quite good for any person to reach here and pursue their internship. Even the bus stand of Ambala city is located at a place which is very near to the District Court.
Stipend
No stipend was there but a certificate for completion of the internship is given by the CJM.
