Also, I have done nothing the past five months and the boredom is unbearable now. I want to be at least marginally ahead of my peers when I reach there.
1. Read The Oxford Handbook of the Indian Constitution.
2. Submit at least two articles to IndCorpLaw. Bonus points if no one understands them, including you.
3. Start assembling your Vis Moot team. Read Gary Born’s International Commercial Arbitration cover to cover.
4. Analyse the 10 biggest M&A deals in the last FY. Draw lessons. Judge CEOs. Feel Superior.

12. Yes sure do Vis in your third year. But again, think bigger. Start preparing for Jessup. Possibly with the same contingent. Start with Brownlie's PIL Book (Chapter 3) because Malcolm Shaw is an ass.

14. IndiaCorpLaw is great, but aim for Oxford Statute Law Review.
15.
Now, if you are done with all the BS, stop overthinking about this. Do me a favour. Read 100 pages of anything that challenges your brain, every day, for the next two months and make it a habit. You will rule law school.
