Bridging the Gap Between Legal Theory and Courtroom Craft

 I am honoured to share that my book, “Advocate and Advocacy: The Skill – A Dip into the Ocean,” has been reviewed in today’s edition (September 16, 2026) of Dhinamalar.

When I set out to write this handbook after three decades at the Madras High Court Bar, my objective was simple: to create a practical, mentor-in-print for final-year law students and junior advocates navigating their foundational years at the Bar.

While legal education equips graduates with statutory provisions and case law, practical courtroom craft—from oral arguments and cross-examination strategies to procedural self-reliance and professional ethics—is often learned through trial and error.

Receiving recognition in a mainstream publication like Dhinamalar highlights the growing importance of structured, practical mentorship in legal education across Tamil Nadu.

My sincere gratitude to the editorial team at Dhinamalar for the review, and to the legal fraternity for their continued support.

Availability: The book is listed with Eastern Book Company (EBC), C. Sitaraman & Co. (Chennai), and Amazon India.https://www.amazon.in/dp/9359147125?ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_SWHT95ZWSA7E1ZB7QRCZ_2&bestFormat=true
