Finsishing Law School in Cochin

Dear all, 

The ADR Centre, Kochi, is organizing a three-day residential certificate course, ‘Finishing School for Law Students’. The course is being conducted in association with the Centre for Public Policy Research (CPPR) and Civitas Legal Solutions, from September 10-12, 2010, at Ashir Bhavan, Kochi.

Finishing School for Law Students is a unique course that provides a practical approach to law.It has often been noted that law graduates are not equipped to meet the expectations of the intensely competitive job market. Due to lack of proper training and awareness, most lawyers in the litigation and corporate sectors find it difficult to perform well. The main objective of the course is to encourage students to think out of the box and equip them to be legal entrepreneurs. The curriculum for the course has been framed keeping in mind subjects that are usually not taught in a law school. The course will include sessions on legal entrepreneurship, advocacy, governance and soft skills training. It will also include mock sessions on advocacy, client management and mediation sessions.

We are happy to announce that we have finalised the speakers for the course. Here is our panel:

1. Padma Shree Dr N. R. Madhava Menon , Former  Director – NLSIU Bengaluru; WBNUJS Kolkata, and NJA Bhopal
2. Dr Sebastian Paul ,Former Member of Lok Sabha
3. Professor Bhaskara Iyer , All-India Director of the English Department, TIME
