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?
Nobody is going to take legal action. Try to get a certificate for the time that you did complete, especially if it's a firm that looks good on your CV
2. Yes but depends on the firm really.
3. Only from the firm.
4. No, in case your prospective employer asks for the certificate or reaches out to the firm for reference (they don't but still), you are fucked!
1. Can they take legal action ?
2. Will I get a negative reference?
3. Am I blacklisted just from just that firm/practice area or everywhere?
4. Is it worth mentioning in the CV since I won't be getting the cert?
