I am a 3L student at a T1 non-nlu, and am posting on LI for the first time. I squandered away the first three semesters of law school, and did not focus on academics as much. However, during my 4th sem, for some odd reason, I have found within myself the determination and perseverance to succeed, and I am doing my absolute best to reach such ends. I really regret not finding discipline before, and now I am paying the price when it comes to literally anything that is related to my professional development. Although I believe I am on the right track, my academic credentials are not up to the mark, and I am doing my best to improve it as well. I request anyone in the legal field to provide any contact / email ID of law firms or partners, so that I can personally get in touch w them for internships and the like. I plan to mail them my work personally, and convincingly secure opportunities on my own, unlike the usual route of going through college and being ruled out merely on the basis of CGPA. I would be eternally grateful for anyone who may take a step to help me out !
While some are ok with emails, some partners aren’t. But you’ve nothing to lose. So fire away those emails and remember
For every 30 emails you send, maybe 1 will reply. So don’t be discouraged
