Internship Programme - SMS Law College

“For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them.” – Aristotle

Significance of Internship in the Field of Law

The purpose of the internship program is to gain practical knowledge in the field of law. While interning, the students will be able to apply the practical aspect of the theories of academic learning in the professional setting under the guidance and supervision of both a professional staff member and a university faculty advisor. At the basis of the Internship, the students will be evaluated on their work attributes and contributions in the assigned work or community setting. The students will have various experiential learning opportunities during the internship program.

Clinical Legal Education is the essence of Modern Legal Education and thus to give emphasis on the same, SMS Law College has designed the Internship Programme for the students following BCI guidelines.

Practical Legal Skills Required

Analytical Skills: Knowledge of substantive and legal procedure, identifying issues, designing strategies for resolution, motivating and coordinating action from multiple parties.

Research and Writing Skills: Conducting legal research, drafting contracts, letters, and documents, and citing to legal authority.

Communication Skills: Oral communication, client counselling, listening skills, and persuasive writing.

All practical legal skills are rooted in “tacit knowledge” – the type of knowledge that is difficult to transfer by writing down or verbalizing. It is much more essential to experience the practice of law in order to acquire these skills.
