What matters is your college and batch rank, period. Be from a top college in the 20s or from a GLC in top 3, and you're in. Nobody has time to check for one month "internships" at other firms where the only work done is basic research and shit. Moots and other stuff, nobody absolutely gives a freaking damn, just be good in academics. Experience works when you start working as an associate, where your academics start mattering lesser and lesser, when your PQE takes over.
12-15 Tier 1 internships
publications in HLJ, Oxford, Yale, Indcorplaw, Berkley law review etc
Top 3 of the batch rn all 5 years
recommendations from VC, Tier - partners, Senior Advocates and Modjii
CEO Dad
Judge Uncle
blah blah blah
