During my internship at the Legal Aid Society in Karachi, I had a rewarding experiential learning program that gave me valuable insights into the legal profession and the importance of access to justice. I shadowed experienced lawyers, observed courtroom proceedings, and gained a deeper understanding of the challenges involved. Additionally, I contributed to research projects, legal document drafting, and client consultations, developing practical skills. Furthermore, I visited the Women Central Jail, which exposed me to the gendered aspects of the criminal justice system and reinforced the need for gender-responsive approaches. This internship has shaped my future career goals and commitment to social justice.
