3. Assume the best intention of others.

I’m doing my BA LLB from a decent state university (not an NLU), and I really want to make the most of these five years. I know the NLU tag helps, but I’m willing to bridge that gap.
Any advice on what I should do to compensate to the NLU loss, Would love to hear from anyone who’s been in the same boat or has tips. Thanks
1. Read. Like, a lot. Read not just what your college is teaching you (which won't be a lot, frankly). Irrespective of what your peers are doing, read. Read the judgments - don't rely just on dukkis and articles. Also read books related to law. Regularly read blogs on areas of law you are interested in (for eg, for Constitutional Law, perhaps indconlawphil; for Corp, indiacorplaw) - more so after your third year or so after you're familiar with the field of law. For now, start reading up on the basics — I remember a thread posted on LI some 2 years ago about what all should a law student read. Start from there, maybe.
2. Intern like crazy. At your internships, focus on two things, over all else — learning & networking. Both of these will take you far.
3. Your network is your net worth. Build it.
Reading, internships and network building yeah i was alr planning to ace these and ill try my best to get par with the competition in these aspects.
What about moots and all tho how do i compensate that.
If you bump this thread up over the weekend, I may be able to take out the time to add more things. All the best.
