Thomson Reuters - Legal Advancement Program (LAP)
The Program is a unique and innovative experience and the only one of its kind currently in India. It will challenge you to think critically and apply what you've learned to key tasks performed by legal professionals.
The Program begins with an online diagnostic test to help measure your current knowledge and practice skills. You'll then begin a rigorous program of scenario-based learning which uses actual case examples to develop your legal practice skills.
Instead of long lectures and volumes of material to read, we present real challenges that lawyers face on a daily basis. Helpful checklists and tools are provided along the way to guide you through, which become helpful references even after the Program has ended. You'll also have access to Westlaw India, our powerful online legal information product, throughout the Program.
