About Simulegum
The onset of COVID-19 was a big blow to legal education in India. Although the theoretical teaching continued in a fragmented way, the practical training was halted. Internships were shifted online and the only work students were allotted was basic legal research. This has hampered the overall understanding of the practical aspects of the law. We had started SimuLegum keeping this into consideration and to fill up this gap.
SimuLegum is an incorporated company providing mentorship and legal training to law students. We have been very active for the past year providing international opportunities, research assistantships, and internship opportunities to law students worldwide. We have built a software that allows interactive choice-based scenarios depicting real-world situations, putting students in a high risk environment, to give them the best practical training for law firm life.
