About us

The Complete Lawyer is an innovative project developed by the Cochin Institute of International Arbitration and Law and Justice Research Foundation, inspired by the teachings of Prof. Dr N R Madhava Menon. Its primary objective is to help fresh law graduates become independent practitioners within a shorter period of time – less than 2 years after graduation – by providing them with a comprehensive understanding of the legal profession and its various institutions. The project is based on the fundamental principle that all institutions created under law operate under the rule of law, including the higher judiciary, district judiciary, and various tribunals. By studying the jurisdiction, practice, and procedures followed by these institutions, the project aims to empower students to enter the legal profession with confidence.
