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.

Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
Ridiculous. I didn't do the internship then and thankfully so.
Personal view, one may differ.
Second, from my experience, law firms are shops where the MP and senior EPs are King, they decide everything. EVERYTHING. So the HR necessarily asks them before even saying a word or replying to a email. They are mouthpieces.
So as per procedure, your situation would be, the partner didn't wanna hire in the 2024 batch as didn't wanna shed money, but still wanted free labour, so they are making you work so you are no longer "fresher".
Also is the firm you are referring to the Mumbai office at D** *****. Maybe I know you lol.
this is one of the t1s that has an awful reputation wrt how it treats people, worse than the other t1s
