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.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
However, I don't think getting a certificate is going to help in this situation. Since you got no work experience from this internship, it is kind of futile to even put it in your CV, So, I don't think it's worth taking the certificate as well. Moreover, I don't think the firm will even have something to write in that certificate.
But if your goal is to only take the certificate to submit it to college, then sure ask the HR to give you a certificate by clearly stating that purpose in the email you send.
This is done so that the next person or recruiter who sees this certificate can know what work is this person experienced in.
So instead of calling people “first years” and acting rude on LI, maybe you can first check the reality and act kind maybe, doesn’t hurt does it?
