About the Advocate and Internship

Law Chambers of Advocate Ramakant Gaur invites the application for it’s ‘virtual internship programme’ to engage the students pursuing Graduate/Post Graduate Degrees/Research Scholars enrolled in recognized University/Institution within India or abroad, as ‘Interns’.
