The Centre for Criminology & Victimology at NLU Delhi and the Bar Human Rights Committee of England & Wales, in collaboration with iProbono, organized a Human Rights Advocacy Training and Mock Trial course. This aimed to train students in trial advocacy, handling vulnerable witnesses, and addressing gender-based violence, continuing the work of the Justice Verma Committee.
The training involved practical exercises in examination-in-chief, cross-examination, and speech-making, taught by human rights jurists and UK barristers. Seminars covered topics like Law, Power & Fairness, and Vulnerability in Indian legislation. A mock trial was conducted on November 26, 2019, judged by practising lawyers and eminent judges. The course, held from November 21 to 26, 2019, at NLU Delhi, concluded with certificates awarded to participants.
