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.

Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
He is SA you are a final-year student. The problems you face in life at this stage are minuscule to him as he must have forgotten how he might have faced the same problems at the same stage.
For example - How would you, as a final year law student, look at an Xth standard student going through tremendous pressure and stress for his Xth Boards? It is now nothing for and you wish you had not stressed so much back in that time. You would just tell him that it is nothing and not to stress about it, which is not at all aligned with the priorities that kid has in his life at the moment and will create incongruities between you.
Likewise, it is never ideal to be in a relationship or date someone who is years ahead of you in the same field, they won't look at your life the same way you look at it, resulting in a lack of consideration, differences, and whatnot.
Did not have to give so much logic to make you understand as the mere fact that you posted this here shows that there is something fundamentally wrong about this that doesn't sit right with you as well. Plus nobody can look into the future and answer your questions with certainty, that, only time will tell.
All the best!
The power differential is wrong.
Further, both are in different stages in life and she is in for a huge trauma episode if she pursues this.
As long as you are both 18+ there is nothing immoral or illegal. Even if you date a partner who's your dad's age.
Unfortunately, men with money age like fine wine. And are preferred by women. But not the opposite.
Problem is you are both in same team. And when you are in the same team. It's unethical to be in a relationship. If you mess up your relationship you could loose careee prospects at the team. If you get a job, you will still be slut shamed for selling your body for a job. Even for him there are risks.
So make sure you intern in a different team. And you could still date him for the long term.
This thread is already going around on WhatsApp groups and if the information is true it will not be long before it reaches the dramatis personae.
The kid is b/o 24 and unplaced, @mod pls redact some details from the og post, for the sake of their job.
Lastly, what sort of a fucked up person you need to be to ask an intern out when there is such a crazy power differential.
P.S. To save your internship, mail him that you wouldn't be able to make it etc., and hint you have a BF.
1. An SA at a tier 1 is usually 27- 28 yrs old. You are fucking 20. They are at a different space in relationships and dating. You are in for disappointment once you get attached because you will react different to the relationship as opposed to a 28 yr old man. You will 100% regret this for life. Please reconsider this. Your post clearly shows that you haven't has as much experience in this space and don't jump into this. Women his age have clearly rejected him for special reasons and that's why he is preying on younger girls, (or he already has a relationship/ marriage). Not worth it girl.
2. The SA is a senior position and has power over your professional trajectory with the firm. This power will almost always be used against you, and if you feel otherwise or want to withdraw later, this will badly reflect. You will have to submit to uncomfortable things for the sake of a mere Assessment. Not worth it. The market for the 2024 batch is already bad, do not ruin your chances like this.
To the guy,
Hitting on an intern as a 28 yr old man is predatory. Don't ruin her life.
I have never been on a real date & this is actually the first time a guy has ever asked me for a date in the cutest way possible. I couldn't say no but now I'm not sure how to proceed next. What if things go wrong? I might ruin my chances of getting a PPO. (2024 batch)
