IMPORTANCE OF LEGAL INTERNSHIP
Internship is an important part of academic curriculum because they help in one gain practical
knowledge and experience required to excel in their respective fields. Legal internships are not
an exception to this rule. Legal internships help law students to decide their respective areas of
interest out of plethora of opportunities offered by legal education be it a career in a corporate

1. Internship is one of modes of practical training in the sphere of legal education. Apart
from moots, legal aid and legal writing it forms a core component of practical
acquisition and assimilation of law teaching syllabus for the students.

structure and behavior of organizations. It shows to them the nature of legal framework
of the institutions and the concerned issues. Students gets the benefit of an exposure to

CONCLUSION
To conclude the report, I would say that this internship experience was an amazing learning
experience.
It opened up the curtain between academic knowledge and its application in real life. It gave me
a taste of what I am going to do in my future. I felt privileged to be a part of the legal fraternity
and I was also lucky to have interned with Advocate Anup Kumar Agarwal at HUMAN
RIGHTS LAW NETWORK(HRLN). From him, I not only got to learn the quirks of the legal
profession as a lawyer but I also got to know the importance of having a wide social base and
the importance of networking.
One thing that will always stay with me is to be a successful and a passionate litigator, one needs
to love the heavy case files and the voluminous books and love to be surrounded by them and
feel awed by them. Without exposure to the real world, one cannot understand the analytical and
positive application of law and jurisprudence and the actual function and the structure of law.
What we study is the body, but what we have learned from this internship is a mechanical of this
body.
I was surprised to see how the simplest of laws were applicable in the most difficult of situations
and how loopholes leave so much scope for evolution and improvisation today in this field. I
also observed that law is everything but constant and with the same soul as of a human. In other
words, or as that of our counsel, laws may come and laws may repeal, but they must always stay
true to our original values and in case of laws, they must always be faithful to the constitution,
which is the most supreme law of the land and governs all equals and unequal in respect of each
other.
