Law school is a universe of its own, with many paths merging in it and more coming out of it. What you make of law school and your legal career is entirely upto you. But we believe that with a little bit of push, we can help you start with the right edge.

Join us for a twelve-week immersive online bootcamp, conducted by Oxford and Harvard Alumni and a Supreme Court Advocate – Avani Bansal. Avani has been consistently passionate about sharing her legal journey with new law students. Learn with her, how you can set a really high benchmark for excelling at all the different aspects of law school, such as research, drafting, mooting, publications and how you can put your 'A' plan on for securing the best internships, jobs, scholarships and higher education offers. Avani will help prepare you for the transition from law school to litigation in the special session dedicated towards trial advocacy and procedural laws. You will also learn why joining legal aid work at law school can be a huge strategical vantage point. In essence, all the questions you have about excelling at law school, this is an opportunity to engage in it with a mentor like no other, who has spent eight years at law school and ten in the legal profession.

At LiveLaw, we are committed to creating a platform where legal knowledge is not the domain of the few but is accessible to one and all.
