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.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
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?
good school extra curricular activities may help in foreign degrees tho.
In any case, I don't think you want to be doing law firm internships for a while. Build up your experience profile through internships at advocates' chambers and NGOs for a while, before moving into the law firm space. Other than those internships, you want to be doing skill and profile building by publishing articles, taking leadership responsibilities in university student society committees and participating in competitions like ADR, negotiation and mooting. Hope this helps!
I've never worked on anything like that nor do I have anything to put on my CV for an internship in 1st year, because the school I come from never really had any extracurriculars. Will I fall behind others? Or is it fine?
