I am a lawyer. I want to join a online LPO training course without giving a break to the court.
Is there any online course for LPO training.
There can be on-line courses. But, I want to share my feelings on the issue. If you have all the skills required in the profession like drafting, presenting the case before court of law, client meetings, logical presentation of facts and law, command over law, reading habit etc. its enough to work in LPO's. Working in an LPO is a simple issue for a legal practitioner who is well equipped with the needed skills in the profession as I told you. In LPO's, one may have to mechanically doing the same or similar type of job again and again. It can be vetting agreements and pointing out the difficulties and mistakes and sending the same to the clients. Otherwise, you may have to summarise the case facts and prepare the written submissions and send the same to your client. You may have to brief your client after reading all the case papers. Its all very easy for a legal proctitioner who is good at drafting, presetnation of case before court, communication, command over subject and who has the habit of continuous reading.
But, one difference is that when you work in a company, you may have to work as per the company regulations and practice. You may have sit in the office doing the chamber work in LPO's and there may not be any need to go-out. If you get adjusted to this new corproate atmosphere, then, its all very easy. I wanted to tell you what I know on the issue.
If you have been practising in Indian legal matters and are adept with writing briefs and drafting pleadings, summarising the depositions for perparing yourself for an argument, drafting contracts and doing research to find out points of law and precedents to support your cases in Indian courts, then you are ready for an LPO job. There are a couple of so called training courses available but after having spoken to the tarinees who have completed such courses I find that it is not worth it. As an AVP Legal of an LPO I do not find any difference between a practising lawyer and a so called LPO trained lawyer who has gone through this kind of a training course. But it would surely be worthwhile for a fresher to go through this kind of training.
