LiveLaw Academy is proud to announce its latest offering - a 5-Day Course on Framing of Charges and Judgment Writing, led by Justice K. Abraham Mathew (Retd.), Former Judge of the Kerala High Court.
This course is designed to fill crucial gaps in legal education and training-the nuances and practical considerations in framing of charges and judgement writing. While the law schools equip you with an academic and theoretical framework of these concepts, they often fail to impart practical training for these core skills. dr Mastering the art of framing of charges and judgement writing is indispensable for any judiciary aspirant and judicial officer. Lawyers also need to understand the nitty gritties of framing charges and judgement writing- to be able to assist as the officers of Court and also help their clients by picking up lacunas.
Why This Course?
In both criminal and civil trials, two moments stand out as decisive:
1. Framing of Charges which sets the stage for the trial in criminal matters,
2. Judgment Writing, which brings the trial to its conclusion.
Despite their importance, many young lawyers and students enter practice with little exposure to the practical nuances of drafting charges and judgments. This course addresses that gap by offering:
- Step-by-step guidance from an expert mentor
- Practical exercise
- Highlighting the points of difference in criminal and civil cases
