COURT VISIT

Visiting a court is like a rite of passage for law students. It is important to see courts and how the law you are learning in books actually works in real life. The purpose of the visit was to understand the working of a court, the nature of duties of the judicial officers. The visit is to help the student in understanding the role of court in dispensing justice in any case, the role of prosecutors in a case, the way cases proceed in a court, the way judges, prosecutors and defense lawyers handle the case, the relationship of the prosecutors and the police.This gave an opportunity to understand the actual need of co- ordination in the justice system. The visit included an in-depth study of the day-to-day functioning of the Civil and Criminal Courts, at different levels and over a vast variety of cases. The aim is to evaluate the resources available and the distribution of power between the judges, the prosecution, and the defense council.
