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?
My advice would be to work on your CGPA as much as possible. If it's due to personal reasons, I hope it has been taken care of. Don't waste your time on moots, negos, committees, etc. They add zero value to your CV. Work your ass off during the trimester and intern during the breaks so that you have a good CV overall.

See a year loss matters a lot, it's not as if no one sees it, when we applied for placements most law firms saw whether the 5 year course had been completed in 5 years or not.
Also, my guy you're in a batch of 300 students, you're screwed beyond repair
Shit happens even to the smartest of people. There may be impacts in the short term, but hopefully, not in the long term. I think the best policy might be absolute transparency. I know it's hard to talk about personal issues in this way, but I think hiding it will be worse for you.
