About the Competition
TOPIC: This 6th Edition of Competition is being organized under aegis of The NorthCap University, School of Law. The stage is set for the 6th Edition of The National Client Consultation Competition.
DATES: Event Date: 9th-10th October 2020; Last Date of Registration- 3rd October 2020.
OBJECTIVE:
The Competition is aimed at promoting greater knowledge and practical skills among student Advocates in the preventive law and counselling functions of law practice. It will encourage students in developing interviewing, planning, and analytical skills in the lawyer-client relationship in the law office. Interviewing and advising are a significant part of most lawyers' work. The Competition provides an opportunity for a valuable educational interchange between students, law teachers and legal practitioners.
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, analyse the interview and discuss the legal and other work to be undertaken.
The interview and post consultation period last a total of 30 minutes. The students are evaluated by a panel of judges. 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 to be called back in and the judges will provide a brief critique of the team's handling of the consultation and post-consultation periods. The Winning team will be provided with a cash prize upto 10,000 Rupees along with the certificates. Also, a cash prize of upto 5,000 Rupees will be given to the runners up and along with the certificates. Besides this, participants will be given participation certificates.
