Cuttack: The Orissa High Court on Saturday organised a visit by 25 students of Class XI and XII from Sai International School in Bhubaneswar to its premises.

Lawyers Sagarika Sahoo and Jagadish Biswal were present on the occasion. They explained various aspects of judicial functioning to the students. The students saw the Chief Justice’s Courts and Chambers in the Heritage Building and the New Building of the High Court, Judges’ Library and the Conference Halls.

The students were also shown video clips of swearing-in ceremony of Judges and explained the procedure involved therein. Video clip of the hearing of one PIL was also played for viewing of the students in the Chief Justice’s courtroom.

The students also visited Aain Seva Bhawan which houses the Odisha State Legal Services Authority and the High Court’s Arbitration and Mediation Centres, where they were sensitised about the Alternative Dispute Redressal (ADR) mechanism and its contribution in redressal of the grievances of poor litigants.

At the Odisha Judicial Academy the students got an idea about various kinds of training programmes designed for the lawyers and Judges. They also interacted with Justice Sashikanta Mishra who shared with them his experience as a lawyer and explained the importance of Civil and Criminal law for effective administration of Justice. Justice Mishra also advised the students to remain updated with developments in the field of law and encouraged them to be good lawyers and judges.

On Children’s Day 2021, the premises of the High Court were, for the first time, opened for children. Since then students of many institutions including hearing and speech impaired and visually challenged children have visited the High Court and its allied institutions like Odisha State Legal Services Authority and Odisha Judicial Academy.
