I am currently pursuing my legal education at The West Bengal National University of Juridical Sciences (NUJS), Kolkata—one of India’s premier national law universities. My academic journey so far has been marked by a strong foundation in legal theory, complemented by practical experience and a sustained interest in issues relating to justice, human rights, and international legal frameworks. I have interned with national-level legal aid organisations, where I engaged in case research, drafted legal documents, and worked on matters involving access to justice, undertrial prisoners, and the legal rights of marginalised communities, including transgender individuals and survivors of violence. These experiences allowed me to witness the challenges faced by vulnerable groups within the justice system and strengthened my belief in the importance of rights-based legal support and reform. I also interned at a reputed law firm where I was involved in civil litigation matters. My responsibilities included attending client consultations, preparing legal notices, compiling case files, and conducting research on a variety of legal issues. This experience enhanced my ability to understand the practical aspects of litigation and client advocacy. Additionally, I had the opportunity to work under the guidance of a sitting High Court judge. During this internship, I attended courtroom proceedings, assisted in legal research, drafted briefs, and engaged in discussions on statutory interpretation and judicial reasoning. It was a formative experience that deepened my appreciation for the judicial process and the nuanced application of law in complex disputes. Beyond internships, I hold editorial roles in student-led legal societies focusing on criminal justice and international trade. I recently authored a published article titled “Courts, Controversies, and Change: The Supreme Court’s January Chronicle”, which reflects my interest in contemporary constitutional developments and judicial accountability. These combined experiences have helped me cultivate a strong foundation in legal research, writing, and critical analysis. I am particularly interested in global governance, human rights, and mediation frameworks—areas that align closely with the vision and mission of the World Mediation Organisation.
I see WMO as a rare and meaningful platform that blends research with real-world impact. My goal is to contribute intellectually to the global discourse on peacebuilding, conflict transformation, and human rights – not just through legal analysis but also by proposing creative, sustainable solutions. I believe that law and mediation together can redefine how we approach global conflict, and I look forward to being part of this transformative vision at WMO.
