[blindLaw] request for advice to be better prepared for litigation work

[Rahul Bajaj]

Hi,

Good afternoon from New Delhi. I have joined the bar in New Delhi and have
been in active legal practice for around 14 months, in the areas of
intellectual property law and disability rights law. The feedback that I
got from the law firm where I work, albeit expressed subtly, is that I
should prepare better for matters, to be able to provide valuable inputs in
an ongoing conference or hearing. they said that asking for time to look
for the relevant information may just result in the hearing or meeting
becoming ineffective, and therefore I do have the unfair onus of going the
extra mile.

If you have 5 minutes, could you outline  what I could be doing more? I
have an intern who has been appointed specifically to address my needs. I
need to develop a system to be more practically useful in hearings and
conferences.

Rahul
