CONCLUSION

My internship experience was very learning and I improved my research

skills, learnt the complicacy of Courts and Consumer Forums, saw a few
agreements and the value of time management and meeting deadlines.

My Advocate guide and his juniors were very supportive who understood the
fact that I was a novice hence my internship was confined to basic
knowledge that they thought was required for me. I am thankful to the
guidance that was provided to me by the guide and the time he spared for
me.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

This assignment presented me an opportunity to work under an advocate and

know their works. The experience of my advocate was a great aid in teaching
me new things.

I was also asked once to type few sections of the Consumer Protection Act 1986
which helped me gain more knowledge about the laws prescribed by the
government which helps in commercial as well as personal transactions.

It helped me to learn how to give back to the society and bring about a change
in the way things work. It most importantly taught me the significance of team
work in our life. While working with other interns and other members under my
advocate, I learnt how teamwork can help bringing about a difference in the
society and how easy the toughest situations become.
