Project Complete Lawyer

The complete lawyer is a project that intends to reduce the period of incubation to less than 2 years from graduation.The expectation is to enable the fresh graduate to venture into the profession with confidence and to become independent practitioners within this period. This project is developed by Cochin Institute of International Arbitration and Law and Justice Research Foundation, drawing inspiration from the teaching of Prof. Dr N R Madhava Menon. The project works on the fundamental understanding that all the institutions created under law, operate on the principle of ‘Rule of Law’. The higher judiciary, including the Supreme Court and the various High Courts, are governed by provisions of the Constitution, statutes and various rules formulated under them. Similar is the case of courts under the District Judiciary and the Tribunals established under various laws. The project believes that a study of the jurisdiction of the institutions, including the practice and procedure followed by them, would help the students venture into the law practice with confidence.
