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?
These firms particularly have a lot of staff and work around, but not enough for over the counter intern delegation. But their intern intake is quite inflated for some reason known to the HR.
Therefore, selective delegation of work is practiced, and certainly online interns are not alotted the chunk of work, the kind of which you'd expect to be assessed over, for lack of connectivity and closeness to explain the details of the work assignment and elicit an intial response for preliminary feedback. Calls and messages are effective only once you break that barrier.
So I thought I might as well do an online one after my college reopens. I'll be doing an offline one during my internship break.
