Advocate Ranjeet Sangle, known for his powerful courtroom presence, addressed IPF students on trial advocacy. He broke down the courtroom not as a stage for drama but as a place where ethics and preparation shape outcomes. With anecdotes from criminal trials, he explained how cross-examination is both art and discipline, how every word in a witness’s testimony matters, and how integrity is the advocate’s true strength. Students found themselves leaning forward, realising that trial advocacy is not about theatrics but about responsibility  the responsibility of defending truth while upholding the dignity of the court.
