"Reflection on my Internship experience & the lessons I learnt", Aadya Jaroliya, B.A LL.B (Hons) VI Semester, JLU School of Law.

I’m pleased to share that this experience expanded the foundation of my ambitions. The practicalities of a law firm, the education required, and the etiquette that should always be displayed were a couple of the things that I learned. Most importantly, in this position, my lifelong goals were affirmed.

Working under honourable Chief Justice Hemant Gupta in Principle Seat of Madhya Pradesh High Court enabled me to understand various aspects of being a successful judge as well as an advocate. The first thing I realized was the trick of communicating things to others. Whereas on the other hand I also played the role of multi-tasker and there I met with the pros and cons of working with my court seniors. Accepting that I faltered while performing a few of my duties, regardless my seniors apprised me with the art of getting work done in court. It's not just about working hard but rather working smart.

On the last day of my internship, I was honoured to meet Justice Hemant Gupta, as I was under his surveillance. He appreciated my work and also admonished for my errors. He marked his meeting by saying, "Every case has a different experience. It's all about what you learn from it and how you deal with it." I recollect his words whenever I start working on a new case.

Talking about professional endeavour this experience prepared me in a number of ways from court etiquette to working on a deadline and gaining knowledge from hands-on training and plenty more. I have learnt how a court of Chief Justice operates, who oversees what and how to network with different departments.

Finally, I would like to share with aspiring interns that always be passionate about the work you've been assigned. Make sure to be calm and composed while meeting the deadlines. Keep a positive attitude and be pleasant while greeting. Do not hesitate to raise a question or voice your opinion because it will show your willingness to learn and adapt.

Faculty Development Program for JLU School of Law by Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh, VC, NLU.

 “No one is a born expert; expertise is something we gradually acquire.” – Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh

On 2nd December 2018, the faculty of JLU School of Law had the privilege of hosting Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh, Vice Chancellor, NLU, Delhi and a doyen of Indian legal education, as a resource person of an enriching faculty development program after he was admitted to the alumni of Jagran Lakecity University as he was awarded Honorary Doctorate (Honoris Causa) at the 4th Convocation Ceremony.

In his session, Prof. Singh focused on the need for enhancement programs for law faculty such as workshops, seminars, training sessions, FDP’s, etc. He stated that perpetual growth is a must in the field of academics. Furthermore, he acquired inputs from the faculty members regarding assurance of quality in legal education in the country and emphasized the fact that growth of any institution depends on its assessment of local competition and its capability of thriving on the weakness of others.

While sharing his vast knowledge in the field of legal research and legal education, he asserted that creating intellectual resources should be the priority for any educational institute and that the faculty should work efficiently to produce research of refined quality. He also emphasized the pertinence of team-work in any arena of life while pointing out that the element of team-work is comparatively of poor quality in our country and it is the duty of the young academicians to work on the same.

Prof. (Dr.) Singh also highlighted the fact that it is extremely important to assess our capacity and specialty before embarking on any endeavour. It was indeed a comprehensively enlightening session for the entire faculty at JLU School of Law. We express heartfelt gratitude to Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh for his invaluable time and hope for our fruitful association with him.
