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?
In any case, stay strong and hold on, keep trying
Diligent and hard working people are always to figure it out
If you want a T-1 job, maybe shift practice areas. If you want to get into a specific practice area only, maybe try for T-2s and T-3s and work your way up. If you haven’t been able to convert 9-10 experiences (not sure if this also includes callbacks, but if not then this applies even more) indicates that your work performance is probably not up to the mark. If possible, ask your mentors from easier internships for feedback and work on it.
I hope it works out for you, the markets haven’t been kind to us and don’t think will be for a while going forward!
