RECENT HAPPENINGS
ORIENTATION PROGRAMME’2023 OF THE SOCIETY:
The Criminal Law Society at Campus Law Centre, University of Delhi, hosted legendary criminal defence counsel and an expert in the field of law, Advocate Mr. Tanveer Ahmed Mir in the foundational orientation program of the society held on October 27, 2023 under the esteemed patronage of Professor-in-Charge, Dr. Alka Chawla, and the Faculty Convener, Dr. Harleen Kaur.
This orientation programme was aimed at providing profound insights into the legal arena to the aspiring legal professionals thereby fostering an environment conducive to robust learning and professional development. Mr. Mir’s emphasis on the significance of becoming a formidable trial lawyer at the outset resonated deeply. Drawing parallels to the notable triumph in the Depp v. Heard case, where Attorney Ms. Camille Vasquez played a pivotal role, Mr. Mir encouraged aspiring lawyers to establish themselves in the trial court before venturing into appellate practice.
Among the pearls of wisdom shared by Mr. Mir were key principles essential for success in the legal domain, including the unwavering commitment of “Not a step back,” the art of conquering fear, and the importance of giving due respect to the judiciary while maintaining steadfast resolve. He underscored the necessity of operating on a larger canvas, advocating for extemporaneous proficiency, and mastering the facts of a case.
The responsibility borne by law students was underscored by Mr. Mir, highlighting that the accused places trust in two entities – the Almighty (if, a believer) and their trial lawyer. Hence, being a defence lawyer translates to becoming the last hope for someone facing legal challenges. This session was not only motivational but also a profound learning experience for all attendees. The Criminal Law Society expressed gratitude to Mr. Tanveer Ahmed Mir for sharing his wealth of knowledge and contributing to the academic and professional growth of the legal fraternity.
