About the Course

India's Best Short-Term
Legal Drafting Course Online

Legal drafting is the foundation of legal practice. Every plaint filed, every bail application argued, every contract signed depends on the quality of legal drafting behind it. Yet most law graduates enter practice without ever learning how to draft a writ petition, a legal notice, a bail application under BNSS 2023, or a Special Leave Petition.

This online legal drafting course bridges that critical gap. In just four weeks — Saturday and Sunday evenings — you will master the full spectrum of Indian legal documents, from a simple legal notice to a Supreme Court SLP, all taught by practising legal professionals with real court experience.

Critically, this certificate course on legal drafting is the only short-term programme in India that covers the new BNS and BNSS criminal codes (which replaced the IPC and CrPC) alongside the complete civil litigation drafting framework — ensuring your skills are current, court-compliant, and immediately deployable.

Whether you are an LLB/LLM student building foundational skills, a fresh advocate entering practice, a CA or CS professional handling documentation, or a non-lawyer needing practical contract and agreement drafting skills — this is the course that delivers real-world results at an unmatched price of just ₹1,000.
