Invitation letter to Heads of Institutions



Dear Sir/Madam

Greetings from Project Complete Lawyer

Project Complete lawyer is implemented jointly by Cochin Institute of International Arbitration (CIIA) and Law and Justice Research Foundation (LJRF)[1] as a tribute to Late (Prof) Dr N R Madhava Menon, the father of Modern Legal Education.  Prof Menon strived for the professional excellence of law students and improving the justice delivery system of the legal institutions in the Country.

Project Complete Lawyer concept focuses on reducing the incubation period of a law students’ transformation into a professional.  It could be achieved only through intensive training and by providing opportunities to demonstrate the trained skills of the budding lawyers.  Hence two components are included in the program (1) clinical training on the various skills of legal practice and a study of the legal institutions; and (2) engaging the participants in ‘Community Lawyering’.

The ‘Community Lawyering’ is a tool for social development.  However, for the trained students, it gives them the opportunity to practice the trained areas and have a lawyer experience, advising the members of the community.  A structured ‘protocol’ is being developed, which would be a complete code for the participants as well as the faculties, in matters relating to training and implementation of the project.  

          The Project envisages a total duration of 7 years of training, which would start from the first year in Law School, of a student in the 5-year LL B Stream: and 5 years in the case of student in the 3-years LL B Stream.  Since the training protocol is in its development stage, it is proposed to start implementation of the project, with an intake from the final years in both the streams.  In the following years, project would take students from both final year and pre-final year.

            We wish the students of your institution also join the training program. The interest in joining the legal profession and sustaining in it, is considered as the paramount selection criterion of the program.  There is no fee for participating in the program.  Interested students may be asked to apply in the google form circulated by Project complete lawyer.
