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?
GPA and Batch Rank otherwise add points to the CV. There are other components as well. Firms/partners have no specific approach of valuing components of the CV.
Rest, hope your email is read and luck plays its role in the transaction. Meanwhile try to specialise in the work you want to do. Also, your cover-letter matters a lot.
The top 10-15 get internships solely based on the CGPA, other things don't matter much.
For the rest, other things start having more value.
You will have apply individually to have any chance at all if you are lower than 50
