This article is written by Ramanuj Mukherjee, CEO, LawSikho.
I had shared the review of our toppers of three courses last week. Now I think it’s time to share review of three more upcoming courses. Definitely read these if you are planning to enroll.
We decided to talk to the toppers of these courses and asked them about their experience. These are the people who have used the courses best and scored at least 80% or above, which is a rare feat.
Also, what is amazing is that several of them are practicing lawyers or working professionals, meaning that they have really less time to study or solve the exercises.
There is something to learn here not only for us, but even the other students, and those of you who are considering if you should take a course from lawsikho.com.
So we called them, asked them for their feedback to the questions mentioned below, and took permission to share it with the world 🙂
So what are the questions we asked?
Question 1: What is your most crucial or memorable learning from the course? We encourage you to share at least one event or instance from your career where you were able to apply the learning.
Question 2: In your opinion, what kind of people can benefit from such learning and what is the benefit they can expect?
Question 3: What has been the key to your consistent performance in the course, especially weekly exercises? Feel free to share inputs for others.
Are there other questions we should ask next time? Hit reply and let me know.
What did people say?
Let’s take a look coursewise. I have retained only the most interesting parts of the comments and deleted the rest in the interest of brevity. We have provided their LinkedIn profile if available hyperlinked to their name so that you can verify if they are genuine people and perhaps even ask them first hand. We can’t assure they will talk with everyone, but if these reviews were fake, they will protest, right?
So we are being transparent about who our toppers are 🙂 you can verify that they are real people.
Diploma is M&A, Institutional Finance and Investment Laws (PE and VC transactions)
Kaushal Mathpal, Legal Officer, Federal Bank
“I have been working from last 7 years, but the practical aspect in LawSikho courses is what makes a difference. Whatever I am learning here will be used in practice.”
“Loan agreement and Due Diligence which I learnt in this course were very helpful as I am working in a bank in the loan department.”
“Any person interested in legal field, banking and finance. Even if they are not involved in drafting but part of the vetting process and scrutinise documents, the course will be helpful. All the law students, lawyers and entrepreneurs should take up this course as they will be the ones who will be negotiating, getting investments, loans etc for which they can use this knowledge.”
Certificate course in Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code
Saloni Mathur, Compliance officer and company secretary at S R Ashok And Associates Private Limited
“The best part about the course is the expert who conducts the sessions; she explains every concept and addresses all doubts. We work on the exercises given and then we are given feedback for the same. This is the USP of the course.”
“There were many events where I used the knowledge gained from this course. IBC is the issue these days. I have been advising people on NCLT on things such as how to file the application and how it is useful.”
“Anybody can do this course. If they are into insolvency, bankruptcy or corporate law domain they should do this course and also anybody who wants to add some value should do this course.”
Utkarsh Nigam, New Law College, Final year, Law student
“People who are interested in pursuing a career in Corporate Law, insolvency or Bankruptcy should do this course”.
“By joining the course, people can expect excellent learning. The most important part is the regular exercise sessions on drafting and writing assignments which is a peculiar feature of all LawSikho courses. I have recommended this course to many people.“
“I am writing many articles as a part of the course. When I sit for any interview, I can answer questions very easily and precisely.”
“In every assignment, all the mistakes are pointed out so we can work on it in future. After joining this course whenever any new judgements and updates come I am able to interpret them in a much easy manner”.
Certificate course in Advanced Criminal Litigation and Trial Advocacy
Srinivas Itaboina, Vice President (Corp.Affairs) and Company Secretary, Visaka Industries Limited
“Before starting the course, I was a little hesitant to share my views openly, due to lack of sound basics and also where to start the process and how to strategize the related plan of action. The syllabus of the course was the motivating factor for me to join the course. Today, I feel I made the right decision by joining this course”.
“These kinds of bridge courses with the right mix of syllabus containing sound basics and forcing us to apply in practical situations is a motivating factor to take the exercises seriously. Structuring of the syllabus is another agile factor that kept the course more interesting and lively. I find this course as one of the best that I have ever attended”.
“All those who aspire to pursue a career in criminal advocacy and in-house legal department officers can get benefited out of this course. Students with a rural background or not from a top grade law school would also immensely benefit out of this course. This course bridges the gap between the theory that we learnt in either law schools or through any other reference material and the practical side of it. Concepts are explained logically in a lucid manner”.
Abishek Rajmohan, Criminal Lawyer, Junior associate, D.R.P Babu & Associates
“I had to draft a bail petition for one of my clients since I did not know criminal law except that from the books. The course helped me to gain practical knowledge and gain immense respect from my seniors and clients”.
“As a junior associate, you are usually delegated with a clerical and small-time court appearance and a very minimal amount of drafting. I implied the knowledge that I gained from this course, even while talking to my senior associates, it made me gain their trust. I was delegated with drafting work in the office”.
“With the help of the feedbacks given in the course, I was able to concentrate on my mistakes and ensure that they aren’t repeated”.
Btw, here are some courses we are beginning by end of this month.
