Outline of the Event: Bhagubai Changu Thakur College of Law, New Panvel organized the Bombay High Court visit for the students to have the practical approach of the filing, pleading and appearing in front of a bench.
Objective: To understand the bridge between the practical and theoretical approach of Law and awaking oneself of the Court proceedings and basic understanding of the pleadings and filings.
Activity: The BCT College of Law, New Panvel, organized a two-day educational visit to the Bombay High Court for the students of Third-Year LL.B. and Fifth-Year B.A. LL.B. as part of their Practical Training – III curriculum. The primary objective of the visit was to provide students with practical exposure to court proceedings, judicial functioning, and the institutional history of the judiciary.
During the visit, the students were divided into small groups, with each group consisting of 10 students to ensure effective observation and better understanding of court proceedings. Each group was allotted a particular courtroom where students observed live court hearings and proceedings. This experience helped them understand courtroom decorum, the role of advocates, the functioning of judges, and the practical application of legal principles.
After observing the court proceedings, the students visited the Bombay High Court Museum, where they learned about the historical development of the High Court, significant legal artefacts, and important milestones in the Indian judicial system. The visit provided valuable insights into the rich legal heritage and historical significance of the institution.
Thereafter, the students visited the Judges’ Library, where they were introduced to its extensive collection of legal books, law reports, journals, and other important legal resources. The visit helped students understand the importance of legal research, reference materials, and judicial literature in the administration of justice.
The two-day visit was an enriching academic experience that bridged the gap between theoretical legal education and practical courtroom exposure. It enhanced the students’ understanding of judicial procedures, courtroom discipline, legal research, and the functioning of the judiciary.
The visit concluded with a deeper appreciation of the judicial system and its role in upholding the rule of law. The programme was a valuable learning opportunity for the students and contributed significantly to their professional development as future legal practitioners.
