This workshop is your chance to increase your reading pace, understand crucial aspects of a judgement and be better prepared for your classes.
Legal Judgments are our history, interpretation of the laws laid down by assembly and precedence for future rulings – thereby, inevitable study for law students. The Supreme Court, Retired Judges and the biggest lawyers of the country have constantly reiterated and emphasized the importance of the ability to properly read and analyze a judgement. Reading a judgement requires critical thinking, eye for detail and a deep understanding of the law.
Judgments range from 2 to 2000 pages, and you have to scourge through it, make sense and prepare a case analysis not just for your mandatory college projects but also for your studies and internships. In this advanced session you will learn how to read cases; what judicial opinions are, how they are structured, and what you should look for when you read them.
