What is my duty as a legal campus ambassador? Nehal Ahmad Nadwi

My plan and strategy as a campus ambassador for promotion of legal research

Introduction

Strategy is the planning or conduct of an operation. In its simplest form, a methodical approach to research is the use of a strategy to locate information on an identified topic. Development of a strategy maximizes efficiency and accuracy through a systematic approach to problem solving rather than focusing on mere serendipity. There is no single correct form of strategy or plan; however, it is the methodical approach to the query—rather than chance—that elevates the quality of the result. Most often, a researcher may select from a variety of strategies. The knowledge and expertise of the researcher and the nature of the query form the basis for any strategy. Perhaps it is easiest to define what does not qualify as a methodical approach to research. Immediately pulling up your favorite search engine and commencing to type upon receipt of a research project does not qualify as strategic, but rather, it is an example of a shot in the dark.

What is a legal research?

Legal research is a skill you are learning in order to enhance your ability to solve legal problems. To become proficient at choosing and gaining access to legal research materials you must analyze the legal problem being worked on, the strengths and weaknesses of the available sources, and your own areas of knowledge and ignorance. This analysis must continue all the way through the research process. A good researcher envisions legal research as a set of research ‘game plans’ (or strategies) and knows when to select which strategy. Your research strategies should be flexible. Even the most diligent researcher, armed with the latest technology, will not be successful if he or she approaches legal research with a mechanical checklist devoid of flexibility and analysis.

Good researchers have to be good writers to present the fruits of their investigation to the scholarly community effectively. Therefore, the help in terms of workshops, seminars, orientations, moot court competitions, debate and law fests, we can offer students have to take into consideration all the elements of success: finding information, understanding and analyzing it, and presenting it in writing.

In order to achieve these objectives, we can adopt the following strategies;

1: To conduct the workshops every month inside and outside the faculty;

2: To conduct seminars about the importance and significance of legal research;

3: To organize orientation Programme and make them aware about Legit Quest;

4: To conduct Programme with the help of University Placement Center;

5: To distribute pamphlets in the conference, organized in the faculty as well as inside the university campus at large.

6: To conduct formal gatherings about Legit Quest at the time of National Moot Court and Debate Competition where students usually gather at a small educational island, i.e., Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh from all corners of the world.

My previous legal experience, oral advocacy training, publications in various Arabic and English journals, paper presentation, debate experience and strong academic background will enable me to make a valuable contribution to Legit Quest.

I would really appreciate t have an opportunity to be the campus ambassador.

I firmly believe that I will succeed in my endeavor.
