A free introductory session for law students

The law you are taught — and the law that is practised.

Legum Lex, a Chandigarh law firm, invites law students and recent graduates to an introductory session taken by its practising advocates — a summary of where the law taught in the classroom and the law practised in the courts part ways. The introductory session is offered pro bono and is free of cost.

The Legum Lex method

The 4C Path — Campus, Client, Craft, Court.

Hover or tap a stage — taught vs practised
Campus Where you start
Taught

You memorise the bare Act, section by section, for the exam.

Practised

You learn which sections actually get invoked — and which judge wants them argued in a single line.

Client The first files
Taught

You study the theory of pleadings and the forms in the CPC.

Practised

You draft a plaint that survives a registry objection, follow the court's paper rules, and find out which clerk takes the file, and by when.

Craft On your feet
Taught

Moot courts, polished propositions, and all the time in the world.

Practised

Forty seconds before the board moves on, an adjournment you didn't ask for, and a bench that reads your face before your written submissions.

Court Where you arrive
Taught

The judgment is the end of the story.

Practised

The order is where the work begins — execution, certified copies, the next date, and a client asking what happens now.

The introductory session walks the 4C Path in summary — what changes between the classroom and the courtroom at Campus, Client, Craft and Court, told by advocates who make that journey every working day.

Why this session

I sat in the same lecture halls not long ago, learning a law that looked very different the first time I stood before a judge with a real brief in hand. This session is the hour I wish someone from the courts had given me while I was still on campus.

A practising advocate in civil and corporate matters — contracts, corporate advisory, dispute resolution and technology law — appearing before the Punjab & Haryana High Court and the district courts at Chandigarh and S.A.S. Nagar, and assisting on writ petitions and public interest litigation.

Nearly a decade in real estate and financial services preceded the Bar, latterly as Director of Land Acquisition for a Mumbai developer. That commercial grounding is why the legal question and its business consequence are read together rather than in sequence.
