What are law firms such as SAM, CAM, Luthra, NDA, IndusLaw, Dhir & Dhir, Samvad, etc. getting out of these paid internships? Is 10-20k really worth more than their reputation?
We still don't know how the journal is securing such internships for the students.
Morally, I don't think so.
As it is that the students from private colleges are at a disadvantage of securing corporate internships and if someone's money or contacts can level the playing field between a student between a Student from NLU and a private College then they should use it.
Jab ghee seedhi ungli se na nikle toh ungli tedhi kar leni chahiye!
Whether the students are deserving or not, it's on the firm to decide by way of callbacks and PPO, we are no one to say.
It's not only non nlus that get internships through their journals, majority of them are from rmnlu and jindal too. This is not right as they're claiming a position of a deserving candidate of either non-nlu or nlu.
Firms should stop entertaining them.
