At LawFoyer’s Achievers’ Archive, we take immense pride in celebrating young legal minds who exemplify dedication, skill, and a deep understanding of the law in practice. One such inspiring achievement comes from Anushka Sharma and Aryansingh Bagga, students of the Faculty of Law, GLS University, Ahmedabad, who emerged as Winners at the Client Counselling Competition 2025–26, organized by the Faculty of Law, GLS University. Adding another feather to this remarkable victory, Anushka Sharma was also awarded the Best Advocate Award, recognizing her exceptional advocacy and client handling skills.
Client counselling competitions hold a special place in legal education because they go beyond books and classrooms. They test how well a future lawyer can listen, empathize, analyze, and advise a client while maintaining professional ethics and legal accuracy. Anushka and Aryan rose to this challenge with confidence, clarity, and compassion.
The competition problem was rooted in the Motor Vehicles Act, with critical intersections of criminal law, making it both complex and realistic. Participants were required not only to identify legal issues but also to translate the law into practical advice that a real client could understand. This demanded a careful balance between technical legal knowledge and human sensitivity. Anushka and Aryan demonstrated this balance with remarkable maturity, showcasing that effective advocacy is not just about knowing statutes, but about applying them thoughtfully while keeping the client’s perspective at the center.
Throughout the rounds, the team impressed the judges with their structured approach, calm demeanor, and strategic thinking. Their ability to ask the right questions, identify relevant legal remedies, and explain possible outcomes in simple and reassuring language set them apart. The judges particularly appreciated their clarity of thought, teamwork, and professional conduct, which ultimately led them to secure the top position in the competition.
Anushka Sharma’s recognition as Best Advocate further highlights her individual excellence. Her performance reflected strong communication skills, confidence, and an empathetic approach towards the client. She demonstrated how a good advocate must combine legal reasoning with emotional intelligence, ensuring that clients feel heard and supported while receiving sound legal advice. This award stands as a testament to her growing potential as a future legal professional.
For both Anushka and Aryan, this achievement is more than just a trophy or certificate. It represents countless hours of preparation, practice, and self-reflection. It also reinforces the importance of experiential learning in law schools, where students learn not only what the law is, but how it works in real-life situations. Competitions like these help bridge the gap between theory and practice, preparing students for the responsibilities they will shoulder as lawyers.
Speaking about the experience, Anushka shared that the competition reinforced a crucial lesson: strong advocacy is about understanding people as much as it is about understanding the law. The opportunity helped both team members sharpen essential skills in client counselling, legal problem-solving, and professional communication, skills that will undoubtedly play a vital role in their future careers.
The Faculty of Law, GLS University continues to provide a vibrant platform for students to explore, learn, and excel, and achievements like this reflect the institution’s commitment to nurturing competent and ethical legal professionals.
Team Anushka Sharma and Aryansingh Bagga’s success serves as a powerful inspiration for aspiring law students across the country. Their journey reminds us that with dedication, teamwork, and a learner’s mindset, students can truly excel and make their mark even before stepping into the professional world.
