Don't know what is wrong with the law students, they want tier 1 internships from there first year itself.
Please make this a point that you are only wasting your opportunity as the firms will take you for Internship since you know the partner but eventually the assessment for ppo will only be taken into consideration in 4th and 5th year.
So, in case firm has one internship policy, you have wasted your opportunity in 2nd year only instead of trying your luck in 4-5th year.
Students should focus on other things in there initial years and should learn first before going into the firm. If you don't know the basics of companies act, contracts, how you are benefiting the team?
I am unsure if I will get the opportunity to learn and work.
I am also scared of the fact that if I mess up or underperform my prospects for future internships there or any other branch will be closed forever.
If having an early T1 firm internship even counts as valuable in a CV.
Will they even care to teach me?
I have so many things going on in my head right now, and I really want guidance and how to go about this internship since there's no going back, and it's my only ever law firm connection.
