Assuming that the reader is an SA, Partner or HR of a Tier 1 law firm, what's the ideal number of internships, achievements and certifications to include in a CV?

Is there an upper limit beyond which they would discard the CV because it's too long?
Thank you Pre-placement man for saving the day🫑
Nahhh. being a T1 partner, I don't think we specifically look for only a certain number of everything but as long as it is relevant and quality work, you can include N number of items.
Fit whatever you can in 2 pages. That's the rule
Bumping this up so that some proffesional sees this and gives advice on how to deal with this predicament
Limit it to 2 pages and relevant information only please
Is relevancy determined by recency? If one has 6 corporate internships would you recommend into include all in the CV along with description of responsibilities?
Relevancy is determined on case to case basis here. If you have done an internship at a tier-1 law firm but have very less work experience to show for it, I don’t think you should prioritise it over a decent work experience filled tier-2 law firm.
1 page per 5 years PQE and no more than 2 pages.
you must have given you name in blank paper during your 1st internship, right. bummer
One pager please. Pick and choose your best achievements and experiences to customise it. Also customise it for the job you want. Focus on litigation internships if it’s a litigation job you want and corp ones for corp job. No need to list out everything.
