Overview
Practice of law is both art & science. Thorough knowledge of law in itself does not ensure success at Bar. Practice at Bar demands inherent skills like interviewing & argumenting. The Argument Skills including language and reasoning skills are useful not only for working with clients, firms and courts, but also for understanding the logic behind Indian legal practice and applying legal reasoning in the profession. This Course provides a thorough introduction to the principles of general arguments, use of oral & written exercises, peer discussions & practice sessions
