About the National Conference

The aim of this National Conference is to address and discuss the various challenges & Solutions in the field of Social & Welfare Laws in the present scenario. The motive is to underscore the necessity for adaptive, forward-thinking approaches to social welfare laws to ensure the well-being of all citizens in our ever-changing world. There are so many dynamics under Welfare Laws that are yet to be explored and understood to provide a better approach to the society.

In order to find a best possible way out, one needs to carefully understand and carve out impeccable solutions for the challenges that the world is facing. This conference has been called upon to throw light upon problems which are confronted by the world pertaining to Welfare Laws and its association to the society at large. By addressing the contemporary issues, many obstacles will come to maintaining social protection and inter-generational solidarity for a healthy and prosper society.

About the Judgment Writing Competition

A Judgment is the statement given by the Judge, on the grounds of a decree or order. It is the end product of the proceedings in the Court. The writing of a judgment is one of the most important and time consuming task performed by a Judge. The making and the writing of a judgment and the style in which it is written, varies from Judge to Judge and reflects the characteristic of a Judge. Every Judge, of every rank, has his own distinct style of writing.

A Judgment pronounced on the bench, regarded as an intellectual product, stands in a class by itself. The judge speaks with authority and what he says should, therefore, be spoken with befitting dignity. He should not affect grandiloquence but he should be impressive. The strength of a judgment lies in its reasoning and it should therefore, be convincing.

Clarity of exposition is always essential. Dignity, convincingness and clarity are exacting requirements but they are subservient to what, after all, is the main object of a judgment, which is not only to do but to seem to do justice. In addition to these cardinal qualities of a good judgment, there are the attributes of style, elegance and happy phrasing which are its embellishments.

About the Client Counselling Competition

The Competition simulates a law office consultation in which two law students, acting as lawyers (attorneys/solicitors/legal practitioners) are presented with a client matter. The students conduct an interview with a person playing the role of the client. Students are expected to elicit the relevant information from the client, explore with the client his or her preferred outcome, outline the nature of the problem and present the client with a means (or range of alternatives, if appropriate) for resolving the problem.

The interview with the client is then followed by a post-consultation period during which the students, in the absence of the client, analyze the interview and discuss the legal and other work to be undertaken.
The interview and post-consultation period last a total of 25 minutes. The students are evaluated by a panel of judges, usually composed of two lawyers and a counselor (e.g., social or welfare worker, psychologist or another person with extensive experience in counseling). The inclusion of a non-lawyer counselor on the judging panel is designed to broaden the interdisciplinary perspectives of the panel, both in terms of skills and possible solutions to a problem.

The students are evaluated against specific criteria that emphasize the use of listening, questioning,
planning and analytical skills in a lawyer/client interview. Once the judges have completed their evaluation of the interview, the students are called back in and the judges provide a brief critique of the team’s handling of the consultation and post-consultation periods.
