PREFACE
The present internship report is the outcome of the internship program at Office of Bahawar
Said, Advocate High Court. The objective of this internship program was to get familiar with
the implementation of law in the court and practical usages of the knowledge that was earned
at the University.

The major problem that I faced during my internship was that there is a change
completely between the studies of the university and their practical implications because in
reality situation changes with every case, so is the facts, which ultimately changes the
applicability of the laws to the circumstance. In Chamber I was taught by my seniors the
practical applications of the theoretical laws that we studied in the university.

The Report focuses on few important aspects of students of law in early days at the
courts which can be summarized into as taking facts from the client, drafting of case, filing of
suit, performing research work and lastly the Court Presentation.
