The Story in Brief
The Gujarat High Court and Gujarat State Judicial Academy have launched a fortnightly study circle for advocates with up to 10 years of practice before the High Court. Chief Justice Sunita Agarwal announced the programme after Saturday’s flag-hoisting ceremony in Ahmedabad. The first modules will cover writ jurisdiction under Article 226, administrative law, second appeals under Section 100 of the Code of Civil Procedure, and criminal jurisdiction under Section 482 of the CrPC and Section 528 of the BNSS. Senior advocates and subject experts will lead the sessions at the judicial academy. Registration will open on the GSJA website, with each programme costing Rs 100.
The Indian Opinion
The claim that young lawyers need more courtroom exposure is fair, but training sessions alone cannot fix delays, weak legal research or unequal access to senior guidance. Nor should this become a ceremonial programme with certificates as its main outcome. The useful test will be whether the circle expands beyond its first three modules and whether participants report stronger drafting and arguments. Attendance figures and feedback after the first six months should show whether the Rs 100 sessions deliver practical value.
