Legal Research and Writing Workshop [Registrations Open]
About the Workshop
Legal research and writing is a non-negotiable and the most vital component of a law school journey. It eventually becomes one of the regular tools for a legally trained person irrespective of a professional vocation one may choose.
While law schools try their best to teach research and writing skills, it continues to remain a bottle-neck for most law students. Due to time constraints, often the law students are not provided real time hands-on training to research, internalize thoughts, develop clarity of thoughts, chew thoughts, think in the language of writing, discuss thoughts for cross-fertilization of ideas and then start writing each sentence with a cogent reasoning, justifiable argument and cross-verifiable reference sans any form of plagiarism. Mere writing a short blog article or any piece of longer article in English language is not enough. Several factors determine the quality of a worthy article that may not only grasp readers attention but may offer a recognizable contribution on the topic.
Agenda and Benefits of the Workshop
This workshop is uniquely curated to provide law students this real time hands-on experience and training on:
- Researching and deciding a topic
- Shortlisting readings
- Habit of reading
- Developing mental framework on the researched topic
- Starting to write
- Writing with cogent reasoning and verifiable claims
- Avoiding plagiarism
- Writing not with an aim to claim fame but writing to make a worthy argument
Uniqueness of Workshop
- Participants will discuss everything whatever they have learnt on a regular basis with their mentor in this LIVE workshop.
Disclaimer: This course is not meant for anyone who wants to claim overnight fame by publishing an Op-Ed piece in a popular media, etc. The course will instead prepare you to start writing a piece worthy of publication as well as inculcate a sustainable habit of indulging in a serious exercise of researching, mental preparation and lastly a humble attempt to write.
