1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.

Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
Imagine you are a law firm, who hires lawyers to practice law and advise clients on the law and makes money by advising on the law. You hire interns from the 4rth and 5th year, because the first 3 years of law school forms the foundation, basis and overview of the theory of law and other subjects that form the essence of law, so you can assess them and hire them as potential lawyers, so they apply this law they learnt.
Now ask yourself the question again
Why will a law firm/ lawyer or anyone, hire someone who hasn't joined law school? (a place where law is taught)
I am in the final year of my BA, and my course requires me to complete an internship of a couple months in a field of my interest. As such, I figured it would be best to take up something which would help me in my future.
Not in law school yet.
