Every law student dreams of stepping inside the Supreme Court corridors — not as a tourist, but as an intern who’s actually part of the action. It’s not just about attending classes anymore; it’s about seeing how the highest court in India functions from the inside.
If you’re looking for a serious litigation internship where your drafting, research, and courtroom exposure are tested, here’s your chance. Advocate-on-Record (AOR) Mr. Sunil Kumar Verma, with nearly three decades of practice, is opening internship slots for law students this September.
About the Advocate
Mr. Sunil Kumar Verma is an Advocate-on-Record (AOR) at the Supreme Court of India. With 27+ years of litigation and advisory practice, his work spans:
- Appearances before the Supreme Court, High Courts, District Courts, and Tribunals.
- Matters involving civil, criminal, taxation, GST, consumer disputes, PMLA, and white-collar crimes.
This isn’t your regular internship. It’s hands-on exposure with a seasoned AOR who has been at the core of India’s top court practice for decades.
