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?
Know the partners first. You can easily guess a person's behaviour and attidude through his linkedin post. then email him tailoring your style in such a way that the partner will reply you back.
Note- I have emailed a lot of partners. A LOT. not every partner is so "dayavaan" to give you an internship.
All the best!
Don't write any hancy fancy stuff in those notes. Be very professional and straightforward. Write why you are asking to connect. Write that you want to learn from them and possibly get hands on some opportunities. Be clear with your purpose. People who work don't have time to f**k around. Respect their time.
Keep doing it. Out of 20-30 people you request, chances are at least 2-5 people will reply back. The more you do this, the higher your chances of landing on an opportunity.
I got my break through this method. FYI, story as same as yours.
Adios!
I am a second year law student pursuing a three year LL.B. course from DU, I wish to get into corporate law, specifically B&F or Fintech or Data Privacy.
Additionally, I’ve done diplomas and other courses focused on such areas of law.
Now, what exactly do I do to get a good internship knowing that most law firms prefer NLU students or students from very well connected private law colleges?
