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?
1. Be available and proactive.
2. Accept all work that comes your way, even if it is marking pages and organising files. This is will build reliability and you will eventually be trusted with more complicated things.
3. Be open to learning and ask questions if and when you have doubts. It is not necessary or even possible for you to know everything but what is imp is your mindset.
4. Stick to deadlines and communicate if you will have a difficulty in meeting them.
5. Act and dress professionally.
6. Don’t sit idle for too long and ask for work if you have bandwidth.
That is all that is expected from you in your first internship. Know your basics of law and MS word and you will be fine.
