I am a second-year LL.B. (Hons) student at the National Law School of India University, Bengaluru.

I am assisting with research for a legal history project which studies the jurisprudential construction of the category of the ‘corporate person’ in colonial and postcolonial India.
I write to, translate incoming letters from and select reading material for prisoners on death row being represented by The Square Circle Clinic in capital appellate litigation before the Supreme Court and various state High Courts.
Providing research assistance to Litigation, Mitigation, Sentencing and Mental Health Associates, I prepared case briefs, worked on proposition research, observed hearings at the Supreme Court, contributed to ongoing research projects on sentencing and the insanity defence, assisted with preparation for workshops and conferences and served as the rapporteur for a workshop on the use of forensic evidence in criminal defence lawyering.
I prepared concise briefs for matters listed before the Hon’ble Judge - engaging with constitutional, criminal, service, arbitration and company law. I provided research assistance to his office, and regularly attended hearings at the Supreme Court.
I prepared case briefs and provided research assistance for matters engaging with civil and criminal law and procedure and labour law, and regularly attended hearings at the Delhi High Court and Delhi district courts.
