Whether you’re a law student, young lawyer, or exploring labour and industrial law practice, this course will equip you with a practical understanding of labour law procedures, litigation strategy, and essential drafting skills.
From filing claims and complaints to arguing interim applications, this course offers a comprehensive guide to labour and industrial litigation, with a strong focus on drafting, strategy, and real-life case handling.
Why this Course (from the course developer’s perspective)
Many law students and young lawyers feel genuinely excited about litigation, and labour and industrial law, in particular, often sparks strong interest. However, the first real exposure to a labour matter can quickly bring a reality check. While the law may be familiar in theory, applying it in real situations often feels challenging.
At this stage, what most learners truly need is the right guidance, someone to show them how to draft effectively, explain procedures in a practical manner, and help them approach cases with clarity and confidence.
Through this course, we aim to equip you with the practical skills that law school often misses, so you can step into labour litigation feeling prepared, confident, and ready to handle real cases from day one.

Building AI-Ready Legal Careers at Lawctopus Law School
Lawctopus Law School (LLS) believes that AI is no longer optional for lawyers, it is fast becoming a core professional skill. At the same time, we strongly believe that AI must be used responsibly and ethically.
Over the last 6 months, the LLS team has actively trained itself in the latest applications of AI across legal research, drafting, litigation support, and career development.
How We Teach AI at Lawctopus Law School
Every live course at LLS includes four structured AI learning elements, designed to help learners use AI confidently in real legal work.
1. LIVE AI Sessions with Leading Legal-Tech Organisations
We have tied up with two of India’s most credible AI-driven legal platforms:
- Indian Kanoon (Prism)
- Jurisphere
Each of these organisations shall conduct regular LIVE sessions (60–90 minutes) for LLS learners, typically once every month or two.
What learners gain:
- Practical demonstrations of AI tools used in Indian legal work
- Real use cases in research, drafting, litigation, and analysis
- An introduction to how these tools fit into everyday legal practice
- An understanding of where AI can and cannot be used
All sessions are conducted under the broad theme: Using AI in Real Legal Work.
2. 4-Hour Recorded Workshop: AI for Lawyers
All LLS learners receive access to a 4-hour recorded workshop (4 sessions) covering:
- Using AI for Legal Research
- Using AI for Argumentation and Mooting
- Using AI for Legal & Contract Drafting
- Technology & Ethics Behind AI in Law
These sessions are recorded by Himansh Wadhwa and Shruti Kaushik, Legal Product Developers at Indian Kanoon, ensuring technical depth and legal accuracy.
3. Complimentary Access to Indian Kanoon’s AI Tool (Prism)
Every learner at Lawctopus Law School receives 1-month complimentary access to Indian Kanoon’s AI tool, Prism.
This enables our learners to practice:
- Conducting faster and smarter legal research
- Drafting and refining legal documents and contracts using AI assistance
- Exploring multiple real-world use cases of AI on India’s largest caselaw repository
4. AI Guidance from Faculty & Course Mentors
Beyond tools and workshops, AI is actively discussed inside select live classes. Our Faculty and Course Mentors regularly explain how AI can be used to:

- Strengthen legal research and writing
- Support civil & criminal litigation
- Enhance work in IPR and tech law
- Build stronger CVs, portfolios, and career narratives
Our mentors are continuously upskilling themselves in AI, with a clear focus on how it enhances, not replaces, sound legal thinking and basic legal work.

In collaboration with Himansh Wadhwa, Legal Product Developer at Indian Kanoon and Prism, we have developed an exclusive eBook for all our learners, an AI Prompts Library, which is a curated, subject-wise collection of ready-to-use prompts built specifically for law students and young legal professionals.
The AI prompt library covers six key practice areas:
- Contract Drafting
- Legal Research & Mooting

- Legal Careers
This eBook bridges the gap between knowing AI exists and actually knowing what to ask it, giving learners a practical head start in applying AI across their coursework, internships, and early careers.

Questions?
If you have any queries regarding the course, please send an email to courses@lawctopus.com and we will get back to you within 24 hours!
FAQs:
1. Do we have a live class every day?
No.
We have weekly, 90-minute long live sessions the schedule of which is announced at the start of the batch.
Most of our live sessions happen during the weekend or late evenings so that all learners can easily attend the same.
In case you miss attending a session live, you can always watch the recorded version of the same.
2. How many hours should I spend every day to complete the course?
We suggest that you spend approximately 3-5 hours/week doing the course.
When you spend these 3-5 hours is up to you. You may spend around 40 minutes each day or do it over the weekend.
3. What if I miss a live class?
We encourage you to attend the live classes after thorough preparations. Just like the real charm of a live match/performance is watching it live, the real value of a live class is in attending it live!
A lot of new, practical things are covered; and of course, your questions are addressed too.
However, if you miss the live class, you can watch the recorded version of the live class which is uploaded for the specific batch only.
4. Can we download the material?
Allowing for the downloading of material puts our work at risk of copyright violation and related misuse. Learners can easily access the material (reading modules, recorded lectures, assignments, etc.) from the Learning Management System (LMS).
Downloading of material is not allowed. Access to the material via the LMS is easy and the students are free to take notes via online/offline mediums.
5. Will I be able to draft Family Law Petitions and Applications after doing this course?
Absolutely. The course has been designed in such a manner that you will learn the skill of drafting relevant petitions and applications, and you will also learn about the procedures followed in family courts!
