About The Course

Contract drafting / reviewing skill is one of the most important traits of any lawyer and can hardly be overemphasised – be it practising in a court, working with a law firm or a company.

However, most of the books available in market on the subject throw light on provisions of Contract law and not on practical skills. Reading draft contracts or even books on contract drafting too has its own limitations. During internships, students hardly get work beyond proof-reading of a contract. In a law firm, once hired, no one is given any concessions for not knowing contract drafting beforehand, despite knowing that most students are not taught this in law school.

As a result, most students learn by trial and error. Many prevalent practices are outdated, superfluous, or even counterproductive. Realising this, legal educational institutions are enhancing their engagement with professionals to impart practical knowledge to their students to make them job ready and infuse confidence.

To develop the skill of understanding, drafting and negotiating different types of Contract, this workshop is being organised.

Prerequisites: The students should have knowledge of Contract Act. Course Outcome

• Shortcomings of conventional style of contract drafting
