Oh and you are "considering"...seriously...entitled feeling much?
Either he/she has a strong contact there, or is super overconfident. SC judicial internships are some of the bought sought after internships for anyone pursuing litigation/applying for LLM.
Mods, unpublish and tag the above comment as 'trollish' immediately. How is it that harmless jokes get tagged while genuinely exhibitionist (and bad) behaviour that could have adverse impact(s) on other people is given a free pass?
1. You'll have to check availability for the month you're considering, as judicial offices get a tonnes of applications. So make sure to apply a month or two prior. If you're applying too late, then are you even serious about your internships?
2. You'll have 3 other interns with you (contingent on you being selected).
3. The work given there is not a piece of cake, you'll have to do onerous tasks of research. Be ready to do elongated research which can be stretched over for whole month just on one specific proposition or a particular section. Though you'll be given ample time to do your research, but it's expected from you to ask for more work so that the law clerks aren't overburdened.
5. You'll be mainly interacting with the law clerks there who'll give you the research propositions. If you happen to apply and get selected in the near future, then you're definitely lucky cause they're all sweet natured and will always be there to make you learn new things. More than that, the law clerks have tremendous clarity of the work they're doing, and an ocean of knowledge, so don't try fooling them :)
6. One of the best part about Sir's office is that he interacts with the interns often, unlike any other Supreme Court Judge. He'll have discussions with you, and ask you about the experience in the Court on particular days, because he always encourages the youth to learn more.
7. The internship is one month commitment, and you'll have to be present in the Office almost everyday. The flexibility to attend college presentation and vivas depends upon the urgency of work and the number of days you'll need off. So do not expect a chill environment where you can just ask for so many days off, cause again, you're going to a Supreme Court Judge's Office, so act like in.
8. If you get through the application process and make it to the interview round, then just be honest.

In my opinion it is one of the most welcoming and enjoyable offices out there. You will get to learn so much and interact with these brilliant people with unmatched legal acumen. Interactions with lordship themselves are a wonderful experience. This is an opportunity that I believe one should definitely not miss.
All the best!!
