We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.

Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
Secondly, proof read and format your work. If you get the opportunity to draft something, try to imbibe the drafting style of the team you're working with. Apply yourself and take small risks. Don't simply copy paste from an existing draft.
Thirdly, build a repo with everyone in the team. People want to work with people they like.
to give you a fair bit of background. I'm graduating in a couple of months and have one assessment internship lined up. It's the only lead I have as of now. My main priority coming out of law school is to start my career and take care of my parents so I intend to ace the internship. So the law firm specializes in a number of cross-border transactions, acquisitions, PE and gen corp work. Based on your experiences and learning, I would love to hear any recommendations that you could provide to help me prepare for the role and convert it into a potential job.
Also, one constant feedback I've received over a number of internships is to "have an eye/attention for detail" and "further research". I would appreciate it if anyone senior or way experienced could actually give examples/instances of what the statement boils down to or is it a generic statement most seniors pass down to juniors?
Thanks in advance,
Your fellow struggling anxiety induced final year law student
