Self-paced Course on Drafting a Legal Notice

About the Course

Human conflicts are inevitable, and there may be many occasions when a person may contemplate taking legal action against another person/entity because of such conflicts. This is where a legal notice comes into the picture.

A legal notice in our country marks the incipience of legal proceedings. It is a formal written communication between parties that consists of the facts, cause of action, and legal reasoning for making any claim. A legal notice is how the sender notifies the recipient about his/her/their intention of undertaking legal proceedings against the latter.

With this course, Lawctopus Law School aims to equip law students and practicing lawyers with the necessary insight and a better understanding of the process of drafting a quality legal notice.
