SCC Online Database Training Session

-


The SCC Online Training Sessions, collaboratively organized by the University Library and the Department of Law, were strategically designed to bridge the gap between traditional legal research methodologies and the increasing reliance on digital tools in legal education and practice. These sessions aimed to empower students, faculty members, and research scholars with the skills necessary to proficiently navigate SCC Online—one of India’s most respected and widely used legal research databases.

The primary objective of the training was to introduce participants to the platform’s comprehensive features and enhance their ability to conduct focused, reliable, and timely legal research. In light of the growing integration of digital platforms in the legal field, the event underscored the importance of mastering online legal research tools for academic writing, case law analysis, referencing, and courtroom preparation.

Conducted by Mr. Sushant Chavan, an experienced professional in legal research platforms, the sessions followed a participatory and hands-on approach. Mr. Chavan provided detailed demonstrations of SCC Online’s various functionalities, such as accessing Supreme Court and High Court judgments, browsing case law digests, using advanced search filters, exploring statutes, and locating relevant legal commentaries. The practical demonstrations and real-time exercises gave participants an opportunity to apply their learning directly and meaningfully.

The sessions opened with a welcome and introductory note, emphasizing the relevance of digital literacy in modern legal education. Participants were then guided step-by-step through the platform’s navigation tools and features like legal citations, case filtering, annotations, and bookmarking. The interactive nature of the training ensured that attendees could ask questions, clarify doubts, and better understand how to utilize the platform effectively for their academic and professional needs.

The event yielded several important outcomes. Participants developed essential digital research skills and gained confidence in using SCC Online independently. Their ability to retrieve precise legal information, analyse and interpret judgments, and properly cite legal materials significantly improved. The sessions also contributed to increased awareness of the digital resources provided by the university library, reinforcing its role as a vital support system for legal education and research.

A notable aspect of the training program was its inclusivity. Two sessions were conducted to ensure that every student from the Department of Law—from first-year undergraduate to final-year postgraduate—could attend. The comprehensive coverage allowed over 300 students and faculty members to benefit from the training. Most of the department’s faculty also participated, reflecting their commitment to staying updated with digital research tools and supporting the academic development of their students.

In summary, the SCC Online Training Sessions served as a timely and impactful initiative that enhanced digital legal research skills across all levels of the academic community. The sessions not only equipped attendees with practical knowledge but also fostered a deeper engagement with digital resources, setting a strong foundation for academic excellence and legal research proficiency. The collaboration between the library and the Department of Law highlighted the institution’s proactive approach in integrating technology into legal education.
