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?
1. Considering you have written proofs too, you shouldn't be worried at all. Did you try showing said proofs to the HR? Call the HR everyday and ask him/her to connect you with the partner or to give you clarity about your situation. Maybe try connecting with the associates in the team you worked with? In case you were able to make a good rapport with one of them, speak to them and ask them if there is any reason why the partner has suddenly ghosted you.
2. If none of this is working out, fuck the firm. Talk to your RCC or your faculty in charge for the placement committee, explain to them your situation and persuade them to let you sit for the placements. You are in T1 NLU so you are obviously smart and have the goodwill of your college name too. I am sure the RCC will let you sit for exceptional circumstances, this isn't a situation where you are at fault.
3. Worst case scenario, none of this works out, reach out to your alumni, explain the situation without naming or dissing the firm/partner and try and bag an assessment internship. Again a T1 NLU tag will definitely help your case. 2026 is still far away, you still have the chance to secure a placement with/without your college RCC helping you.
Just don't lose hope, good luck!
Thank you so much. I have reached out to alumni but the hiring market seems to be extremely bleak, not even getting an internship. However, im trying and hopefully land an assessment somewhere soon.
Thank you buddy!
