3. Assume the best intention of others.

I’m a fifth-semester student at one of the lower-tier NLUs and have my internship break in January, but I’m unable to secure an internship. I have a fairly decent CV and have previously interned at the High Court and the ASG’s chambers at the Supreme Court. I’m competent skill-wise as well, with experience in legal research and drafting.
I’ve applied at approximately 50–100 places, but all I receive is, “Sorry, please apply in six months, we don’t have slots,” or, “We only consider fourth-year applicants,” or the classic no replies.
If you can consider me for an internship or suggest an alternative recourse, I’d be thankful.
Regards.
