Manupatra EduTech launches new education platform for legal professionals.

 New DELHI: Manupatra EduTech has launched its newest venture LawSkills, an online platform with multilingual courses intended to bridge the gap that exists between legal education and profession to create opportunities for young lawyers, legal practitioners and common people alike.

practitioners in the field, with each course that would include a strong theoretical foundation supplemented with practical and professional inputs.
