Myths That Need Not Stop You

I need grey hair to succeed as a lawyer.
I need to be born into an elite legal family to succeed in the profession.
I should not specialize early in my career.
By specializing, I will lose clients and it will be hard to manage.
Business development is solicitation and therefore illegal.
If we follow the footsteps of successful lawyers of the previous generation, we will succeed.
Successful lawyers don’t need any management/ customer service/ technology/ marketing/ administration to run our practice profitably.
It is better to practice in the Supreme Court or High Court rather than tribunals or lower courts.
I must charge less than big law firm partners to get work from a client.
Big clients will prefer to go to big law firms only.
I have to pay my juniors less. It would take a long time to train and onboard junior lawyers.
I live in a small city or town - there is no work here and an absence of good opportunities. The legal profession is unfair. Seniors don’t pay or train, or invest in their juniors because juniors will leave.
The expectation of clients or seniors is very high.
The market is bad - we can’t do anything.

If you are a law firm founder or an independent practitioner, answer the following questions truthfully (to yourself)

Don’t worry even if you answer quite a few of these questions in the affirmative. These are not real problems - the real problem is somewhere else and these can be fixed quite easily.

But for now, just go through these questions and statements and see if anything resonates.

Do you struggle to find new clients at times?
Do you feel that some clients don’t value your expertise?
Do you find clients at times asking for specialized or customized services that you do not provide?
Do you struggle with clients driving your prices down because competitors are ready to undercut?
Do some clients underestimate your ability to deliver results, or question your experience?
Do you find it difficult to charge and justify higher prices for your services?
Do you feel confident in competing with more experienced lawyers?
Do you want to identify new practice areas where you can deliver high-value services but not sure how to go about it?
Do you find it hard to chase big mandates because of a lack of bandwidth, experience and an effective team?
Are you worried about stagnation in your practice, while your batchmates or juniors get promoted and earn more?
Do you ever worry about being caught unprepared in a client meeting or in the courtroom by judges for not being on point?
Are you concerned that lawyers with less capability are doing better than you because they are better at promoting themselves?
Are you concerned about failing to build a brand name over time?
Do you often complain about not having any free time for your friends and family? Are you overworked and stressed?
Do you feel dissatisfied at the end of your day and wonder if you should just accept a job?

If your hard work is not paying off, you may be missing something. It is time to pause and reflect.

And we have helped many lawyers like you with these exact problems. We will tell you how. Just hold on a little bit more.

What a high-growth small law firm or independent law practice looks like

Financial freedom

The legal profession is a very profitable one. You have eliminated low margin work and unreasonable clients that exhaust you. You do not take up work where financials are not justified.

Your income is growing by leaps and bounds month on month. You can have the lifestyle you want to have. Your income far outstrips your expenses and you are able to invest most of your income.

Work-life balance and peace of mind

Freedom from the crazy work schedule and backbreaking work pressure, you work at your pleasure. You have total control over your time. Thanks to a great team behind you, you choose when you want to work and when you want to take a break.

Secure pipeline of clients and new work

There is a strong pipeline of work. You have regular client development activities planned and the machinery you have built ensures a steady flow of work.

Growing brand name and reputation

You have built a strong brand in your area of work. Your clients talk about you positively to other potential clients and recommend you. The market considers you to be a premium service provider.

You regularly write articles, blog posts, appear on interviews, webinars and TV debates, your social media is highly engaging and clients follow you to receive regular updates about your area of expertise.

You are considered a leading authority, thought leader and influencer in your area of practice. People look up to you for innovative solutions, new ideas and predictions.

Talented young lawyers seek you out for an opportunity to work with you and learn from you. You have no difficulty in hiring. You are not afraid that talent may leave.

You are able to pay your lawyers really well. You reward high performers. You have a terrific work culture and even lawyers who leave once after being poached by top law firms want to come back very soon. High-quality lawyers are leaving jobs with big-name places to join you and work with you.

Feels great to even imagine this picture, doesn’t it? This is what your future looks like, as a small law firm owner or an independent practitioner.

What is stopping you from getting there?

Here are the top 5 challenges for small law firm owners and independent practitioners:

Ad hoc approach to client acquisition and learning

Waiting to get the work before learning new skills. Asking the clients directly for work without taking the initiative to build and showcase your work. Waiting for an advance before doing your research and preparation.

Knowledge and skill gap in service delivery

Law is a profession where clients want to hire the best that they can afford. If you are a cheap lawyer but your skills are of a lower order it does not help much, but if you are highly knowledgeable, and you do the best work that is available in the market, that is much easier to market. What are you doing to get there fast? Do you have a strategy for this?

Not investing in your own growth

You cannot expect to learn by just doing the work that you normally do over a period of time. The legal services market is evolving very fast. You need to identify new areas and upskill fast, without waiting for years to work under the guidance of a senior, acquire a post-graduate degree or prior experience at a marque law firm. If you have identified that you need help for your growth as a lawyer but do nothing about it, you cannot grow by accident. If you are not specifically investing in your own growth as well as that of your practice, there is very little chance that it is going to happen at all.

Reliance on practice development advice from lawyers of earlier generations who are not in sync with today’s altered reality

Most lawyers depend on practice development advice from specific mentors who are senior in the legal profession and who have built their practice long before, in a different time and age, and in a period of 10-20 years.

Much of that advice does not work today, because the market has completely changed.

What worked for getting a job 20 years back in a law firm, does not apply now. Interviews, job descriptions, policies of employers and processes have all changed, so has competition.

Let's ask you a couple of questions.

First, are you willing to wait it out for as long as they did, to succeed? Or do you want to try out additional steps (over and above what your mentors suggest) to radically speed up your journey?

Second, are you sure that the techniques which worked 10 or 20 years back will be as effective today? Have you seen them working for others around you?

I am not discounting the value of the advice of seniors - it is great to rely on their legal interpretation, understanding of the bench in a particular court and their superior knowledge of litigation or corporate work on specific matters.

However, the practice of law is evolving so fast that you need multiple mentors to guide you in different areas of professional development.

You can do very well with specialized training and mentors for building your law practice. You need to take learnings from other disciplines such as management, digital marketing, brand building, digital transformation and automation etc.

Thinking that law practice is not a business

You might think that the practice of law is poles apart from running a business.

Businesses can advertise and are profit-making, but lawyering is a noble profession.

A lawyer is a champion of justice and a friend of the court.

However, running a successful law practice has several aspects which are common to a business.

For example, content marketing, people management, operations management, financial planning, strategy and process automation - all of these can rapidly grow your practice, if you resort to the right strategy at the right time.

It can take many years to acquire expertise in each of these areas, but those who start early and focus on these aspects do far better than those who resist this idea.

Every single skill you learn in this regard will grow your practice and make it more stable to that extent. What you learn, you will be able to transmit to your team and build systems accordingly.

5 things you need guidance with

You need help with rapid learning of legal skills and knowledge. Larger law firms can afford to have super specialised partners in every area of practice. To compete with them you need to be able to pick up new and exciting areas of law practice and equip yourself with the necessary skills very fast.
You need help with great brand-building through the creation of thought leadership content, social media presence, and networking. You can do it very fast with the right help and access to the right platforms and tools.
You need access to a peer network that is supportive - other lawyers who not only share ideas and latest information with you but also help you to connect with important opportunities. You should also be able to discuss your ideas and challenges with them.
A ready-made resource base where you can find templates of documents you have to draft, from different types of commercial contracts to litigation related formats. Having the right library of standardised templates can improve the quality of your work and save time in a big way.
Guidance on managing and developing your practice as you will face different challenges at different levels

5 steps to rapid growth: how we help legal entrepreneurs like you to take things to next level

You do not have to depend on pure luck, or have grey hair or be a second or third-generation lawyer to be recognized in the industry and run a flourishing and profitable law firm or practice.

The roadmap to build a successful law practice or a law firm is not a mystery.

Here are the 5 steps necessary for any lawyer to build a profitable practice:

Step 1: Learn how to solve a client’s problem, i.e. acquire specific technical skills which the market needs.

The legal industry is evolving very fast - a client frequently approaches a small law firm owner or an independent practitioner for services straddling a combination of practice areas.

For example, advice on a fintech contract may require knowledge of technology laws, banking regulations, data protection, contract drafting, negotiation and dispute resolution altogether.

Similarly, take the example of insolvency and bankruptcy work. For all of 2019, it was one of the most important areas of work for commercial litigators. As of 2020, after the COVID crisis, suddenly, there is a moratorium on filing cases in the NCLT under IBC for insolvency and bankruptcy. However, right now, the work that these lawyers should focus on is the restructuring of loans. There is a lot of work in this area and few lawyers who can do it.

After a year, this could very well change again. Lawyers who do not rapidly respond to the market situation are likely to struggle.

These are just some examples - in reality, client problems pertain to many other practice area combinations.

The challenge for a small law firm owner or an independent practitioner in these situations is to inspire the client’s confidence in his ability to handle such complex work.

The best strategy is to choose a few niches like this (perhaps even just one) and build up a reputation as the ‘go-to lawyer’ for such work.

This kind of work can be very high margin, but several small law firms and independent lawyers fail to get such work. They stick to routine low-margin work, which is often the root of their problems.

You cannot wait to acquire prior experience or have years of expertise in these areas - you have to acquire the competence rapidly through your own resources.

Otherwise, by the time you learn enough about an area of work, it may fall out of favour or may become already too overcrowded to start out, or the trend itself may alter in a way that it makes no sense to focus on it.

Speed and ability to adapt to changes in the market, therefore, is key to the success of the lawyers of the new generation. And this speed and adaptability come from the ability to learn the trade rapidly rather than slowly through trial and error and observation.

The way lawyers used to learn a skill, and practice the same thing over their entire life, looks like a luxury today. Sometimes available, but we need to learn to live without it.

A library of courses in the Master Access program helps you with understanding client objectives and learning about legal services to be delivered.

In the Master Access program, you will have access to a library of all our courses (excluding test preparation courses and dream job Bootcamp) on a variety of practice areas for a period of 4 years from your enrolment. You will also have access to courses that are launched in future as well.

Do we guarantee any results?

The actual results that you achieve will depend on the effort put in by you to implement the learnings from the program in your practice.

We have deployed pre-determined mechanisms to deliver value to you on the steps mentioned above.

We will also be available to guide you on specific requests that you have if you get stuck while implementing these. Feel free to reach out to us for any additional guidance.

However, the responsibility to implement and use the learning rests ultimately upon you. For example, if you do not reach out to clients or do not publish articles to showcase your work or do not actively learn new skills which are imparted in our courses, you may not get the growth that you want.

You will get some reminder emails and follow up calls from us if we see you are slacking, of course.

What if you don’t benefit from this program? Is there a refund policy?

We have a full refund policy, provided you follow the program diligently for 30 days and then want a refund, anytime between the 30th and 45th day.

If you take the program, follow at least one diploma or executive certificate course diligently for a month, attend all the classes live and perform all the exercises but if you still do not find value in Master Access, or are not able to understand or follow it or not find it good for any reason, we will refund the entire course fee to you.

It is a 100% money-back guarantee with only one condition, you must pursue it properly for a month. If you don’t find it valuable after that, get your entire money back. Refer to our refund policy here.

The most important question

What is the one problem that can’t wait? What do you need to fix immediately?

You cannot wait anymore for growth and getting ahead - whether it means getting new clients, performing high-quality work, earning more, expanding your practice, etc.

If you do not take a new action, you run the risk of staying where you are. You run the risk of stagnation, even as your peers get ahead.

You will need to decide for yourself whether you are willing to shoulder that risk.

If not, are you ready to get professional help?

Your growth and the future of your practice depends on the decision you take now.

Pitfalls to avoid, even if you shut this window and never return

You may not want to proceed any further and close this window. Irrespective of how you proceed, remember that you cannot afford to make the following mistakes:

Asking prospective clients to give you work first, before you learn skills
Looking for a highly paid job at a big brand name or a famous law firm first to give you a top-notch experience
Depending on your senior to teach you everything necessary to build a successful practice
Thinking that there are no opportunities in your area or in the legal profession
Believing that clients don’t pay lawyers until they have grey hair
Limiting yourself to the same practices which your seniors who built a successful law practice a few generations before used
Thinking that online courses cannot teach any practical skills

If any of these things are preventing you from seriously engaging with the question of whether Master Access can help you, please reach out to us and have a conversation.

FAQs

Who is going to certify the course? What is the value of the course on the CV?

Unless specifically mentioned otherwise, none of our courses is recognised, accredited, or validated by any university, government or third party. We consider government regulatory standards as an impediment to offering high-quality courses we offer at an affordable cost, offering informal, non recognised courses rather than collaborating with formal universities.

This course is offered as a skill development course by a private company. LawSikho is India’s leading online legal education provider and provides high-quality legal courses that teach you how to do practical legal work as required by the industry.

For any recruiter or client, what matters the most is whether you possess the relevant skills to match their needs and serve their interests. We will train you in rare and important skills that are highly in-demand and our initiative is one of a kind.

Experts review the syllabus and course content for all the courses. These experts are drawn from law firms and the industry at large. The course is conceptualised, coordinated and marketed by LawSikho, a venture that aims to make justice accessible to people from all walks of life through access to superior legal knowledge.

The legal industry knows and respects our work, and they know that anyone who finished our course and obtained certification has a certain level of knowledge and skills. If nothing else, you will be appreciated for the knowledge and skills you would acquire through our courses and would be able to demonstrate after due completion.

Who can enrol for the LawSikho Courses?

We recommend that you should have completed your Higher Secondary / Class XII from a recognized Board / University. In the case of foreign nationals, you should have completed the equivalent of Higher Secondary in India in your respective country. You should also be comfortable with the English language and using a computer. However, we have no formal pre-qualification requirements because we are not a University or college. Anyone who wants to learn is welcome to join our courses.

Will international students also be sent hard copy material?

If international students require hard copy material, they need to share their correct address and we will let them know the cost of the courier which they need to pay and then the hard copy will be dispatched. This is the process because the cost of an international courier is very high compared to the domestic courier within India (for domestic courier we have no additional charges). Some international students provide us with an Indian address for couriering hard copy material. In those cases, we charge nothing extra for the courier.

How do I figure out if the course covers a specific topic I want to study?

A person can visit the official website of LawSikho and find the relevant course and see the course syllabus, learning objectives and even a list of weekly exercises. You can also subscribe for free sample material. If more clarification about the course is needed, feel free to chat with our online chat specialist. You could also call us on our landline number, +91 11 40845203 for further assistance.

How can I get access to a demo class?

We do not offer any demo classes. You will not understand the course's quality by attending a single class as the results we produce is done through a combination of many things - study material, assignments, personal feedback on assignments, and then finally, class. The only way to experience the course is to take the course for a month, risk-free, as we give no questions asked and refund between the 30th and 45th day provided you attend all classes and solve all the assignments.

The refund policy may vary. We advise you to go through the refund policy given on the respective course page to know the actual refund policy applied to you.

Are there any minimum attendance requirements?

There are no minimum attendance requirements, as we will teach the course online through a Learning Management System that allows you to pursue the course at your own pace and convenience.

We will conduct online weekly classrooms for 40 minutes to an hour. Attendance is recommended. Feedbacks by our experts on your assignments submitted is the goal of our sessions.

To know more about exercises and assignments submission requirements, please check the course page.

Can we take the tests at our convenience, or will they be available only at a specific time on a particular day? What happens if I cannot take the tests at a particular time because of exams, internships or other commitments?

As candidates will be enrolling from across India and abroad, every candidate's schedule is likely to differ. The test will be available on the online portal for a substantial period so that you can take them at your convenience. We will give sufficient opportunity to everyone to attempt the test.

If any student is unable to attempt the test or facing any issues, can mail us at support@lawsikho.com

Requirements of the online test may vary as per the course. We suggest you read the test details on the course page to learn more.

How are online MCQ tests executed? Can I give the monthly tests and the final exam at home? Or do I need to go to an online centre?

The online MCQ is executed on the Learning Management System. You do not have to go to any special centres to give the test or exam. You can attempt the test by logging on to the online Learning Management System from your home or anywhere you wish. We recommend using a computer while giving these tests, as mobile phones are unreliable for giving tests.

Students should finish the MCQ test within the stipulated time in one sitting.

Please visit the course page to know MCQ test fees and guidelines.

What payment methods do you accept?

You can use any of the following methods to pay for the course.

Online payment through Razorpay - Credit Card, Debit Card, Netbanking, Amex & UPI
International students can use Razorpay or Paypal
NEFT/ RTGS (online through your bank account) or offline

For further details on making payments, please visit our enrolment page or call on +91 11 40845203 for assistance.

Are there any financing or EMI options for payment of the course fees?

If you have a Credit Card with one of the following banks, you can pay using an EMI option.

ICICI Bank
Axis Bank
Standard Chartered Bank
Kotak Mahindra Bank
HDFC Bank
Yes Bank
IndusInd bank
RBL Bank

Can the course fee be paid in instalments?

A student can pay online before completing two months or send a cheque of INR 15,000/- in favour of “Addictive Learning Technology Pvt Ltd” within seven days from their enrollment. The date of payment will be exactly two months from the batch commencement date.

Would Live classes start from Module 1?

Please do not expect us to teach you like college courses. Those are not effective. Our focus is on giving you a realistic experience of doing legal work. Hence you will get different exercises and assignments every week and all relevant material to solve them. Please do not worry that you have not read other associated concepts. We are recreating the experience of working in a law firm or in-house legal department, and we found that this is the kind of training that works best. Live classes will relate to the week’s assignments. You can read the modules from module 1, but we advise you to follow the courses according to where the assignments take you. By the end of the year, you would have covered all the syllabus and retained everything.

If it feels complicated and challenging midway, do not worry. The course is designed like this. You need to stick to it, hold on for dear life and ride along as you ride a roller coaster. Our responsibility is that you are satisfied and get all the results that you were promised by the end. If you are not, you can hold us responsible. But please, please trust the course design and stick to it until the course gets over.

Are there any discounts available?

No, there are no discounts available. We do not believe in discounts and never give one. Prices have only increased over time and not decreased.

How is the course administered?

The course starts on the commencement date for your batch. You would get access to all the study materials on the online learning management system, which you can view on your computer or mobile phone (Android & iOS). The study materials cannot be downloaded or printed.

We will provide you access to hard copy materials for reference within 30 (thirty) days. We cannot deliver videos and periodic updates in hard copy; hence hard copy materials are not recommended for studying to attempt exams. To stay updated with the latest developments, we strongly recommend that you learn from online materials.

Every week, you will be given exercises to perform, which we will discuss in a live online classroom.

What are the passing criteria?

The passing criteria for any course are 40% of the total marks and completion of weekly exercises, articles/assignments as mentioned in the course guidelines.

Please check the passing criteria section on the course page for more details.

What if a person fails to pass the course?

You can attempt the MCQ test only once.

If you fail in a course, you can request a re-examination once again. You can re-submit the required exercises and articles with a deduction of 3 marks.

For exercises that you have already submitted, and you do not wish to re-attempt, your marks will remain the same. We will give you some additional exercises to attempt to increase your chances of completing the course successfully. It will also enhance your learning.

How do I clear my doubts online?

If you have any doubt or question relating to the content, please write on the discussion forum of the LawSikho platform itself. Our concerned experts will respond to you within 24 to 48 working hours. You can also write your queries to support@lawsikho.com. Our concerned executives will support you to get your questions resolved within 24 working hours.

What are the days and timings of Classes?

We ensure that class timings enable a maximum number of students to participate and take out time from work or college while at the same time they are feasible for experts.

Classes will be of 1-hour duration and will be held in any of the following time slots:

Weekdays: 8:00 pm - 9:00 pm IST
Saturdays: 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm IST
Sundays: 10:00 am - 8:00 pm IST

You will be informed of the class timings for the relevant week at least 48 hours before the class via email notifications and WhatsApp messages. We will also add it to your Google calendar.

We will ensure we have fixed timing for this class to schedule your day well in advance according to it as far as possible.

Recordings of class sessions will be made available on the online learning management system for accessing within 48 hours of the session conducted.

How do I get my LawSikho certificate after completing the course?

Those who complete the course successfully will be awarded a LawSikho certificate. The certificate will reach you within 30 (thirty) days of course completion.

Please check the course guidelines for more details.

I am likely to have a busy schedule this year because of academics, co-curricular activities or enrollment in other courses like the CS course. Will this course be very demanding or time-consuming?

The course is designed keeping in mind the schedule of practising lawyers, working professionals, entrepreneurs and full-time students. The learnings are well spread out over a long period. There would be a specific learning objective every week, accompanied by assignments. It takes about 8-10 hours for a person of average intelligence to complete all course activities every week. You need to take this course one week at a time.

We do not guarantee that you will pass the course without putting in reasonable effort or attention. Still, the exact amount of time you would need to dedicate depends on your ability to grasp the material.

Is it possible for a person who doesn't know the law to study independently with the material given?

Yes, knowledge of the law is not a prerequisite for deriving value from the course. It is possible that what you learn in this course is entirely independent of any other course you have probably pursued or are pursuing. The course is designed keeping in mind that there will be many non-lawyers taking up this course. The only knowledge we assume is what one would expect to know after completing higher secondary school. All modules are reviewed from a high school graduate's perspective and ensured that they are effortless to understand.

You only require knowledge of the English language and basic computer skills to understand the concepts.

Is there placement or internship assistance for candidates who enrol in the course?

An active placement assistance program is available to students, including CV-writing, career guidance, and sharing of relevant job and internship opportunities. Job and internship opportunities will be shared with students on the WhatsApp group from time to time. Students who complete the exercises and perform well in those exercises and classes can be recommended to law firms, lawyers chambers and companies for jobs and internships. However, we do not guarantee any job or internship.

We have also started a career clinic for the benefit of our students. Students can visit our office in Delhi or seek career-related insights over phone or video calls on pre-designated days. More than 2000 positions have been shared with our students to date, and hundreds have got placements and internships through us. Our students have been placed in various law firms and other organisations as full-time employees and have obtained multiple opportunities for internships under the programme. How many opportunities you get will depend on your efforts in the course, and if you do the course well, you will be able to find jobs on your own.

We will also provide you with a career development course free of cost if you need it. Just ask our customer support if and when you need it after participating in at least three months of classes.

We also help you enhance your CV by writing and publishing articles and giving you networking exercises and coaching to build your professional network. Creating your professional network can make excellent opportunities available to you that you cannot even imagine today.

For more details, please see the placement assistance guidelines given on the course page.

What is unique about LawSikho courses? Why should I not take up any other online law course provided by other websites or a University, especially if it is significantly cheaper?

How the courses are created, and its philosophy - We aim to create extraordinary lawyers and support the legal industry. You will find no other course which is as practical, provides as much personal attention to every student, or as many opportunities.

Syllabus, coverage and approach to issues - We do not spoon-feed you but give you experience what you will experience when you work at top law firms or big in-house legal departments. You will be prepared for the best and the worst. You will learn to deal with any legal issues, even those we didn’t teach you about, because that is how our course is designed.

Live Exercises - Pilots are put on simulators to practice flying before they are given an actual aircraft to fly. That is how our courses work as well. Even before you start dealing with real-life cases and matters, we train you to do such work through simulation exercises. This experience is invaluable for ambitious lawyers. Think of our courses like an online gym or a martial arts dojo for learning legal skills that will make you amazingly successful.

Personalized support - you can ask questions in the learning management system, interact with us on WhatsApp groups and even call us when you are struggling. We are here to work with you to make you succeed.

Placement assistance - Do you know any other course where you get this level of placement assistance? Law firms and companies love to hire our students because it is tough to find such highly-trained talent. Ask our graduate students! Also, we make you write articles, publish, and enhance your CV and network with many people. This provides you with next-level opportunities in your career.

Doubt-clearing weekly exercises - Doubts are cleared every week. If you can’t wait, post your doubts inside the module itself, our experts reply within one working day.

What will be the grading system?

Grading system: Students will be graded according to the following grading system:

Grade	Percentage
F (Fail)	<40
C+	41 to 59
B+	60 to 79
A+	80 to 100

What if I want to migrate from one course to another?

Migration from one course to another is possible. Students should email their migration request to our support team at support@lawsikho.com within ten days from the enrollment date.

We will not accept any requests after ten days.

What if I want to migrate from one batch to another batch?

Yes, you can migrate from one batch to another after paying a migration fee of INR 2000/- (or as per the prescribed fee pertaining at the time of migration) and the course fee difference between the admitted batch and transferee batch if any. If migrated, the work or assignments submitted earlier by you will not be considered.

What if I am unable to complete the course in time?

A student is given a total time of 14 months from his batch commencement date to submit the minimum number of required assignments. If they fail to do so, they can submit their pending assignments after the 14th month with an extension fee of Rs 2000/-

They will get a four months grace period to submit their pending assignments after paying the late fee. Those who want to submit the assignments after 15 months from their course commencement date will not be allowed to pay late fees. They will have to migrate to the future batch within 3 years from the enrollment date after paying the migration fee and following the migration rules.

The month and year may vary as per the type of course. We suggest you check the Migration Rules of your course on the course page.

Do you conduct exams after completing the course?

Exams are conducted during the course duration only, not after the completion of the course.

Is this course recognized by any third party or Government Authority?

LawSikho courses are offered by a private company as a solution to learn practical skills. There is no recognition, no accreditation and no affiliation from the government or any University or any third party unless specifically mentioned otherwise.

What if I can’t finish the weekly exercises?

Weekly exercises are very important to learn the practical aspects for which you joined the course. You get sufficient time to complete those. In case you can’t finish them within the due date, you get an extension to complete them with a deduction of a few marks.

You will not get a LawSikho certificate if you fail to submit the required number of assignments and articles. These are mandatory requirements for obtaining the certificate and value of the course for which you enrolled.

Does the certificate have marks or grades mentioned?

The certificate will have the Grade on it. If students want to know their scores, they can write to us at support@lawsikho.com. We will provide their scores.

Is there any written exam at the end of the course?

Yes, you will have to attempt just one MCQ test at the end of the course.

What if I submit all assignments but miss the MCQ?

You must complete the required number of assignments and the MCQ test to complete the course successfully. They are mandatory requirements. You won’t get the LawSikho certificate if you fail to fulfil these requirements.

How is the course helpful if it is not recognized?

There are many certified courses in the market, including LLB, a qualifying criterion for becoming a lawyer. The problem is that even after doing them, people do not have the requisite advanced level practical skills needed to succeed. You can learn these things from our courses. Our students who are already working earn over Rs 1 lakh per month on average. That should give you an idea about what is so beneficial about our courses!

Note: You can check our Government of India Recognized courses in the course section.

What is an online Live class?

An online Live class is a video conference-based class that you can attend from mobile, tablet and personal computer through an application. You can see the teacher and the teacher can see you. You can even share your screen with the teacher for comments if the teacher requests it, and the teacher can show you his or her screen. You can see other people attending the class also. There is usually a lot of discussion amongst the students and teachers in the class. It is very much like a live classroom except that you do not have to travel to access the class; you can access it on the go as long as you have internet and a device.

Can I get personal guidance in working on assignments that I find challenging?

We will point you out the relevant reading material and templates and precedences you need to solve an assignment. You can also freely discuss with other students in the course WhatsApp group. You can post queries in the learning management system as well while working on assignments. During the live sessions, you can ask questions to the expert and get your issue resolved. Sometimes it may be possible to schedule a call with evaluators and discuss with them, but this is at the discretion of the evaluator and at a time of his or her convenience. We cannot handle unlimited calls with every small question. You have to respect the time and availability of the evaluators also. For that, you already have the Learning Management System and the WhatsApp group, where you can post an unlimited number of doubts.

How is our training methodology unique and industry-proven? Is it endorsed by the legal industry in India or abroad?

Our training methodology is unique. While any outside authority does not endorse it, the success of our students speaks for itself. Our methodology is described in detail in the previous questions. The legal industry loves to hire our students who have gone through the entire training we provided. Major companies have been hiring us to train their legal teams and managerial executives with cutting edge legal courses. This is proof of our success.

Note: The Government of India has recognized some of our courses. You can find those courses and other details in the course section of our official website www.lawsikho.com

How to be eligible for MEPSC and Skill India certification?

Are there going to be classroom sessions?

Yes, in all our premium courses, there are live weekly classroom sessions. Apart from one session related to your course, sometimes you will be invited to attend extra free sessions on writing, networking or other relevant skills. However, the course is conducted through an online learning management system, enabling students to access study materials from anywhere in the world at their own time and convenience. Course materials will be accessible on the online learning management system, which you can assess on a laptop/desktop. You can also access the course on your phone by downloading the LawSikho app. We may upload some course materials around the time of your class about the relevant issue. Apart from this, you will have access to significant hard copy material as well.

Live sessions on exercises shared will be conducted online every week. Once or twice a month, you will also have a session on writing influential articles and networking skills. In total, students will have 5-6 live sessions every month. At times there could be extra sessions that are optional to attend.

Our experts' weekly online sessions will include feedback on the previous week's exercise and explain new concepts related to upcoming exercises.

What if I cannot attend the classroom sessions?

Attendance for sessions is not mandatory but crucial for learning to perform exercises that add value. Students who miss the session can watch the recorded versions of the sessions conducted on the Learning Management System (LMS) and the assignment portal (anything that is easier for you, it is uploaded on both platforms). We will add the recorded session to LMS within 48 working hours.

It is highly recommended that you complete weekly exercises. It is mandatory to submit 50% of subject exercises per course requirement and all writing assignments.

All study materials, including text, videos, drafting exercises, templates and regular tests, will be available only on the LMS and accessed using your login ID for the LMS. Students can also access the course through the state of the art mobile Apps, making learning convenient and accessible on a real-time basis.
