JU Law School Strengthens Experiential Pedagogy through Immersive Court Visit Program

Jammu, May 01: In a significant initiative to bridge the gap between theoretical legal education and practical courtroom dynamics, The Law School, University of Jammu, organized an immersive court visit for its 6th-semester students as part of its experiential learning pedagogy. The visit aimed to provide students with firsthand exposure to civil and criminal proceedings while fostering meaningful interactions with members of the Bench and Bar.

The students had the privilege of engaging in an insightful interaction with Shri Haq Nawaz Zargar, Special Judge, Anti-Corruption, and Ms. Rekha Sharma, Munsiff JMIC, Jammu, who is also an esteemed alumna of The Law School. The judges shared their invaluable experiences and addressed students' queries on litigation strategies, career challenges, and the evolving competitive landscape of the legal profession. Emphasizing the cornerstones of a successful legal career, they underscored the importance of professional ethics, rigorous research, unwavering integrity, and a compassionate commitment to justice for marginalized sections of society.

Earlier, Prof. Seema Rohmetra, Director, The Law School, while orienting the students, highlighted the transformative power of experiential learning in shaping competent and socially responsible legal professionals. She stressed how "learning by doing" not only enhances legal acumen but also cultivates essential life skills such as critical thinking, discipline, and empathy.

The visit was meticulously coordinated by Dr. Rajneesh Khajuria and assisted by Dr. Palvi Mathavan Puri, Dr. Vandita Sharma, Dr. Ramesh Kumar, Dr. Rubia Wani, and Dr. Nitan Sharma, faculty members of The Law School, who ensured a seamless and enriching experience for the students.
