The Faculty of Juridical Sciences (FJS) at Rama University, Kanpur, hosted its inaugural "Intra Client Counselling Competition" on November 5-6, 2024. Curated by the University's Moot Court Association, the event saw enthusiastic participation from law students across various levels.
The opening ceremony was attended by distinguished faculty members, including Dr. Praveen Kumar Mall, Dean of FJS, along with Dr. Vir Vikram Bahadur Singh, Dr. Rama Kant, Dr. Sadhna Trivedi, Dr. Inderjeet Kaur, Dr. Kaneez Fatima, Mr. Rahul Singh, Mr. Ashish Tripathi, Mr. Shirsh Pandey, Ms. Sneha Tripathi, and Ms. Riddhi Tripathi, who served as the event’s convenor.
Client counselling is an essential part of legal education, emphasizing the skills necessary for effective client communication and advisory. The competition aimed to train law students in active listening, probing questioning, empathy, and professionalism—skills crucial for building rapport, establishing trust, and managing client expectations. As law and client-centered counselling have evolved, this form of training empowers future legal professionals to offer practical, ethical advice while allowing clients to make informed decisions.
The event marked an important step by FJS in preparing its students for real-world legal practice, as participants gained hands-on experience in client-centered counseling—a technique that enables lawyers to guide clients toward the best outcomes while maintaining the highest ethical standards.
