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.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
Or you can go to some Independent practice and learn. This would help you be independent and well versed with procedural aspects even if you had to go to a firm later on. I am not saying this gives you a sure shot placement but this will at least not leave you without any skills or experience.
Firms like LKS say that there is no vacancy.
More than half of my senior batch is unemployed/pursuing masters or other careers. I am not even sure if opting for law (knowing full well that I am from a low-income background with no lawyers willing to help) was a good option.
Please suggest a way out of this victim mentality. I am wasting a lot of time pointing fingers, rather than interning and honing my skills.
We would love to have some insights from seniors.
