Every law student has that moment in court when the textbooks suddenly feel like fiction. The buzzing courtrooms, sharp cross-examinations, and adrenaline of real cases—none of it is in your classroom. If you’re ready to step into that reality, here’s your chance. Advocate Vakul Sharad, Vice President of the Saket Bar Association and founder of Vakul Sharad Law & Co, is inviting applications for legal interns at Saket District Court, New Delhi.
What Makes This Internship Different
Forget copy-paste drafting assignments or endless research marathons that lead nowhere. Here, you’ll get a front-row seat to what litigation truly feels like. From arguing bail applications to filing consumer disputes, you’ll see first-hand how law gets done.
Practice Areas You’ll Explore
- Civil & Criminal Litigation: Step into the courtroom, attend arguments, and watch how strategy meets law.
- Service Matters (CAT): Learn about administrative law by working on cases in the Central Administrative Tribunal.
