Hi all, I am fifth year student from not so known law college. I am about to sit for off-campus law firm interview and was just wondering as to how one should answer the interviewer question relating to internship experience. Should we tell them about what all work you did in your past internships individually or tell them only about the internships wherein you worked on issues relating to their specific sector? What approach one should follow? Thanks in anticipation.

If you quote a case, they will ask for the provision of law under which the matter was litigated. Be sure you have these details with you. Read the sections again and on what basis did you proceed with the case. Quote supreme courts judgments, ratio etc. If corporate, mention the sections of Companies act, FEMA under which you researched. Thereafter you will be grilled and your knowledge will be tested. Make yourself very clear and be confident of your response. Don't be adamant and politely say that you would like to hear interviewer's perspective and that you are happy to be corrected/guide. Be confident, show that you're are honest and hardworking (which you should be). Most important, don't faff. It is okay to say you want to take a guess and you are unsure of the correct response.
