40 + Hour Mediation Training for Law Students+ Internship + Membership with Outofcourt.in
Outofcourt.in is where law students discover that being a good lawyer is not only about arguing cases, but about resolving conflicts wisely.
Founded by Meena P. Waghray, a lawyer, mediator, and mentor with years of real courtroom and mediation experience.
Outofcourt.in is built on what the law actually looks like in practice. Every lesson comes from lived cases, real mediations, and years of working with people at their most difficult moments.
Here, mediation is taught as a skill, not just a subject. A skill that helps you listen better, negotiate confidently, handle emotions, and find solutions where others see only disputes.
For over 10 years, law students across India have trusted Outofcourt.in for learning that feels real, practical, and transformative.
Students don’t just leave with certificates—they leave with confidence, clarity, and a new way of thinking as a lawyer.
If you want to stand out as a future-ready lawyer,
this is where your journey begins at outofcourt.in.
OOC is not theory-heavy or detached from reality.
Every program is rooted in actual mediations, real court experiences, and lived disputes.
Students don’t just “learn mediation” they practice it, observe it, and internalise it.
Because the future lawyer is not just a fighter in court, but a problem-solver in society.
Mediation builds core legal skills like listening, negotiation, emotional intelligence, strategy, and client handling that no textbook or moot court alone can teach.
Absolutely. Many of the best litigators and judges are strong mediators.
Mediation sharpens advocacy, improves settlement strategy, and gives a 360-degree understanding of disputes, making you a more effective legal professional in any role.
All programs are personally designed and led by the founder of OOC, Meena P. Waghray, an experienced lawyer and mediator, who brings the courtroom, mediation centres, and negotiation rooms directly into the classroom through stories, simulations, and real cases.
