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.

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?
The NCLT and IBBI websites are also always upgrading, which makes it much easier to navigate through cases/orders/notifs so you do not need to worry about that either.
Now coming to the preparation bit, you can do the following things to develop a foundation for your internship and possibly a career in the field (if you like it ofc):
1. Apprise yourself with basic terminologies that lawyers routinely use for communicating/talking about IBC - such as CIRP, RP, SRA, IP, IRP, RP, FC, OC etc. that you can easily find in the Definitions section of the Code. (The IBC handbook is a decent tool to learn these which is available on IBBI's website).
2. Once you understand these terms, you should learn about the actual procedure/stages that occur under the IBC (From a Section 7/9 application to all the way up until Liquidation). Think of it like knowing what the pieces of a puzzle are (as per 1.) and then putting the puzzle together (2.).
3. If you manage to do (1.) and (2.), it would be immensely helpful for you if you read landmark judgements surrounding the IBC - such as Essar Steel, Swiss Ribbons, Kensington Boulevard etc. to name a few. It will be easier to understand these judgements since you already know the procedure by now.
4. (Optional) Finally, you can read up on specialist aspects of IBC such as Real Estate insolvency, Pre-packaged insolvency which will definitely give you an edge in your internship.
You should be sorted if you do all of the above.
