Is it fine if I randomly ask my senior in college how to write a research paper( he is really good in it). If yes how should I ask him. Or how can I get that tier 1 internship which he/she has gotten. In a way that it doesn't look that I am only talking for my benefit( although it is true somewhat but there is nothing which I can offer in return).
How should I ask for some guidance/mentorship to my college alumni. Or ask for an internship to the lawyers and judges who came in college for various moots.
Is it fine If I randomly go to some advocates office and ask for internship?( any tips to increase chances)
Some tips how to start a conversation with random advocates not to get something but just to know them and ask about their field, what work they do, just some insights etc?
How to praise/complement someone so that it doesn't look flattery and you are doing it only to impress but like genuine admiration?( In my last internship the advocate was really intelligent and he comes up some out of the box arguments which really got me in awe and I really want to become like him in that moment) how to convey these things?
