Our Schedule was like in morning attending court proceedings, after lunch researching in the High Court Library cases related to a given set of facts and finally in the evening giving report of our research.

Sometimes I was given work of drafting & notice reply. The matters were primarily related to bail and writ petitions.
The work environment was fine and there were a lot of books that you can refer to in the office. This was my first legal internship and I was slightly apprehensive of my work skills and if I’d understand anything at all but to my surprise and contrary to my belief, I did.
Work Environment at office:
Work environment was friendly and suitable for the new learners. We have the freedom to have “chai and samosa” whenever we wanted.
First day at organization:
The first day at organisation was full of nervousness but by the grace of God I overcome it. I was introduced to Senior Advocate Yogesh Chandra Verma and his team of juniors. They were friendly and welcoming. I was asked to sit inside the Sir’s cabin and witness his meetings with clients. Later I prepared a list of dates in writ matters.
