Happened with me as well at L&L. Emailed a partner through a contact and put both of them in CC. The HR responds saying I dont have the experience. 4th year
That's an auto generated response yes. call the HR and tell the partner reference with his name. Should work
Maybe because of the non-nlu tag. Folks , parents and kids - always remember the market is narrowing due to economic hardships. Either get into a tier-1 NLu by giving or retaking clat. Or just focus on your academic at your current college
Good to know that firms are looking at merit rather than connections!
Unlikely, probably someone with stronger "connections" took OP's slot.
There are a lot of internship slots in a firm like SAM. How difficult is it to put an extra intern or put OP in place of someone without contact?
Serves you right for attempting to jump over meritorious candidates with your "pull", which pull itself seems to have backfired. Work harder and catapult yourself on your own merit is all I can say. I am glad the HR has decided to go by merit.
Lol you're assuming, what if HR and partner has to please someone even bigger than what reference a OP had.

HR at lawfirms are just puppets
This happened with me as well, even though the partner at SAM was a family friend and I’m from a tier 3 nlu (NLUJ). Tried following up and calling the HR but couldn’t get a decent response. Eventually decided to go for a different firm as I was running short of time.
NLUJ is a tier 3 nlu? 😭😭😭😭
NLUJ is a tier-3 firm? no sh*t they do a lot of stuff in there
It’s a tier-3 college ** 🫣

Can relate big time with the OP on this front though
You applied to the wrong Anarchand firm if you wanted a job by referral.Referral wont wirk at SAM.You had to apply at CAM and you would have sailed through.
