First thing I've noticed is - clients are super poor. Remand production takes place after lunch mostly, accused people are super poor. To get money out of them when they're about to be produced is a tough job and even if you manage to, it's going to make you think about life.
Rich people do commit crimes but they usually go to big lawyers. You may intern or join them but you can't be them on day 1.
Paperwork is tough to keep track of. Handwritten applications with stamp court fees is a major skill that's required. Court staff are usually helpful.
Examinations are fun to watch once you understand who's good and who's just noisy.
Quality of lawyers is good but as they don't make as much as appellate court lawyers do, they may not appear as sharp. But once they open their mouth, you know they have substance.
Everyone knows trials go on for years but actually sitting through those dates can seem pointless at times.
Your perception about procedural aspects change. When you read criminal law articles on livelaw, you start asking yourself simple questions like how much do you really know about FIR?
Judges are mostly very patient and sharp. This can't be generalized but without giving away location details I want to say that often judges are present but witnesses are not available - which means trial can't go on.
