Careers – Jobs and Internships at Chandigarh
Email: careers.simranlaw @ gmail .com
SimranLaw invites applications from candidates seeking focused exposure to criminal law litigation before the Punjab and Haryana High Court at Chandigarh and the Supreme Court of India, where the work involves direct engagement with bail matters, FIR quashing, criminal appeals, revisions, writ petitions, and proceedings under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, and candidates are expected to demonstrate a clear inclination towards litigation, strong analytical ability, and willingness to engage with complex factual records, statutory interpretation, and procedural strategy in high-stakes criminal matters.
The role is centred on intensive legal research, requiring candidates to engage deeply with statutory provisions, judicial precedents, and evolving case law across criminal litigation, including anticipatory bail, regular bail, FIR quashing, appellate proceedings, and matters under special statutes, and candidates will be expected to analyse complex factual records, identify precise legal issues, trace relevant authorities, and assist in developing legally sustainable arguments, with drafting assistance and court exposure forming a secondary but integrated component of the work, thereby ensuring that the primary focus remains on developing strong research capability as the core skill for effective criminal litigation practice.
Ideal candidates include law students in their later years of study and recent graduates who are committed to pursuing litigation as a long-term career, possess clarity in legal writing, are capable of handling high-volume and detail-oriented work, and are prepared to work within strict timelines and procedural requirements associated with High Court and Supreme Court practice, and prior exposure to criminal law, procedural law, or court internships will be considered an advantage but is not mandatory where the candidate demonstrates aptitude and commitment.
Internship opportunities are offered on a rolling basis throughout the year, with structured involvement in ongoing cases and direct supervision, and candidates should note that all internships are unpaid, with selection based on merit, demonstrated interest in criminal litigation, and ability to contribute meaningfully to active matters, and the focus of the internship is on rigorous training, practical exposure, and development of litigation skills rather than administrative or peripheral tasks.
Applications should include a brief statement of interest, updated curriculum vitae, and any relevant writing samples, and selected candidates will be expected to maintain confidentiality, adhere to professional standards, and engage with assigned work with diligence and discipline, thereby ensuring that the experience contributes meaningfully to their development as future criminal litigation practitioners.
