Duration of Internship and Timings

My internship started in the month of November and ended in December, 2013. The timing was from 10 to 3 in afternoon.

First Impression, First Day Formalities, Infrastructure

The first impression was kind of confusing as the court was full of people flowing in and out an the hustle and bustle, but as the days passed by I got familiar with the environment and everything started to seem soothing to me.

There were no formalities involved as such, just the pupil need to be punctual in timing.

Main objective was to understand the basics of the how the judiciary works and what are the process involved.

Biggest Lessons

The biggest lesson I have learnt is keeping patience and I realized that people are very compromising with the legal system and look upon the judiciary process as a lengthy and full of burden . This mindset need to be manipulated and need to be overcome.
