The Summer Internship 2024 further expanded opportunities, with 3 students interning at the Supreme Court, 33 with High Court advocates, 8 in judicial internships, 35 at the Advocate General’s Office, and 16 at district courts.
For the upcoming Winter Internship 2025, the program will see 31 students placed at district courts, 9 at the Advocate General’s Office, 1 at the Supreme Court, and 13 with High Court advocates. This continuous progress reflects the department’s commitment to enhancing students’ practical learning experiences. The Law Department’s collaboration with the legal fraternity from PHHC and Amritsar has been instrumental in this journey, setting a benchmark in legal education.
