Legal Skills Laboratory - Writing,
From 46 € /h
This series of lessons focuses on the skills that truly define a good lawyer, but which are not covered in law school. The sessions are designed as a practical, hands-on learning experience and help you learn to think, write, and argue like a jurist.
A central part of the course is excellent research. You will learn how to design and structure sound research projects – from papers to dissertations and theses. This includes formulating clear research questions, building coherent arguments, selecting suitable methodologies, and structuring your work in a way that is analytically sharp and academically convincing.
The sessions go beyond superficial research skills. You will be trained in:
1. Designing an in-depth research methodology (doctrinal, comparative, and interdisciplinary approaches)
2. Primary legal research, including analysis of case law, interpretation of legislation and use of legislative material
3. Secondary research strategies, including identifying high-quality academic sources and policy material
4. Supervision of theses and dissertations, including topic selection, structuring chapters, refining arguments, and editing drafts
In addition to research, the course places a strong emphasis on writing and communication. You will learn how to write high-quality academic papers, policy briefs, legal memos, and opinion pieces, enabling you to produce precise, persuasive, and original analyses.
In addition to writing, advocacy skills and strategic thinking are also covered: how to formulate arguments convincingly, handle opposing viewpoints, and communicate complex ideas clearly. The lessons, based on practical experience in legal advice, policy advising, and advocacy in the field of digital rights, show you how the law functions outside the lecture hall.
A key focus is applied learning: you work on exercises, receive detailed, personal feedback, and develop a portfolio of writing and research results that you can use academically or professionally.
What you will learn:
- The ability to design and execute high-quality legal research projects
- Strong skills in writing theses and structuring dissertations
- Mastery of primary and secondary legal research methods
- Clear, structured, and persuasive legal writing
- Practical experience in drafting memos, pleadings, and academic work
- Confidence in argumentation, critical thinking, and pleading
- Insight into real-world legal and policy practice

About Me
I am a technology lawyer and public policy consultant with a strong track record of working at the intersection of law, technology, governance and constitutional law. Currently pursuing an Advanced LL.M. in Law and Digital Technologies at Leiden University, I bring both academic depth and extensive real-world experience into my teaching.
Over the past several years, I have worked closely with governments, big tech companies, and civil society organizations on some of the most complex and evolving areas of law - ranging from digital regulation and intermediary liability to AI governance, online safety, and data protection.
As a Public Policy Analyst at The Quantum Hub, I played a key role in designing regulatory frameworks and policy strategies that directly informed government thinking and industry practice. My work included developing a Responsible AI Framework in collaboration with the Government of India, advising companies such as Google, Microsoft, Snapchat, and YouTube on regulatory compliance, and co-authoring reports and studies on online safety and platform accountability.
Previously, as Policy & Legal Counsel at SFLC.in, I worked on high-impact constitutional and policy issues - drafting legal submissions before the Supreme Court of India, advising Members of Parliament, and building one of India's first cross-sectoral technology policy coalitions. My work combined legal analysis with advocacy, contributing to debates on surveillance, internet shutdowns, free speech, and digital rights.
I started my career in legal practice at Sai Krishna & Associates, where I advised Amazon Prime Video on content regulation, intellectual property, and platform compliance - negotiating contracts and conducting legal risk assessments across multiple high-profile projects.
Alongside my professional work, I have authored several publications on technology law, digital policy, and governance, and have led research and stakeholder consultations across industry, government, academia and civil society.
My Expertise -
Core legal subjects: Contract, Tort, Criminal, and Constitutional Law
Technology & digital law: AI regulation, data protection, intermediary liability, platform governance
Media & IP law: Content regulation, copyright, trademarks, and digital media
Legal skills: Research, academic writing, policy drafting, legal strategy, and advocacy
Real-world policy engagement: Government advisory, regulatory design, and stakeholder consultations

This series of lessons is intended for students and professionals who wish to develop a strong and structured understanding of the law. Depending on your needs, I can cover core topics such as contract law, liability law, criminal law, constitutional law, and so on. The lessons aim to help you understand not only what the law is, but also why it exists and how it is applied. You will delve into important legal cases, legal principles, and doctrinal debates, and learn how to interpret rulings and connect legal rules to and apply them in real-world situations.
In addition to the basic topics, the lessons can also be expanded into specialist areas such as technology law, media and entertainment law, intellectual property, legal philosophy, or whatever your interests may be—thereby offering a more detailed, specialized, and interdisciplinary perspective.
Each session is interactive and tailored to your needs—whether it involves simplifying difficult topics, reviewing past exams, or preparing for assignments, tests, or work projects. By the end of the series, you will be able to read legal cases with confidence, understand legal reasoning, and approach the law as a coherent, logical system rather than a collection of disconnected rules.
Who is this intended for:
Law students (bachelor or master)
Students preparing for exams or assignments
Professionals who want to delve into specific fields
Anyone who wants to build or refresh a strong foundation in legal subjects
