I'm writing this opinion just to get justification, whether my decision is correct...
So, I'm a 3rd Year student at a mid tier NLU. And till now I've done 2 boutique law firm internships and done 8 paper presentations, along with some publications here n there, and some participations in Moots and ADRs conducted by Tier 1 law firms and NLUs. So, in toto I've a very poor CV.
I'm mailing 120 firms, every month for internship. But only 5 replies out of which 4 rejects.
Basically, I'm so much done with all of it. I have 0 connections.
There's a twist, that Judicial services is my passion and I wann do that only at the end of the day. But, the peer pressure at law school is making me to intern.
Whenever internship break comes, on the back of mind, I always have this idea that I should prepare in these "holidays" by going to home.
All of this is so stressful. What to do, I'm so confused.
Bcz, sometimes, I feel that I wouldn't be able to survive in Law firms. If this is the case with me, then why should I even go for it, and when I don't wann go to that path, why to even intern there.
Am I going right way? Is this how I should approach?
I'll be really grateful, if you can help me out.
