What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a research-driven role where I can support legislative and criminal justice work—translating statutory interpretation and case law into clear legal documentation and policy recommendations, with room to grow into deeper governance impact.

I’m an LL.M. candidate with experience in legislative research, legal drafting, policy analysis, and criminal law research. I completed a Legal Fellowship at the Institute of Legislative Drafting and Research (ILDR), Ministry of Law and Justice, Government of India, where I conducted research on statutory provisions, policy frameworks, and judicial precedents to support legislative drafting processes.

I also bring hands-on practice from my District Court, Kasganj internship, where I researched criminal law matters under IPC, CrPC, and the Indian Evidence Act, and supported drafting of bail applications, affidavits, notices, and pleadings. Alongside my work, I’ve published “Justice 2.0: The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on the Criminal Justice System in India,” and I’m motivated by public accountability, governance, and legal technology.
