I’m a final-year law student from an tier 2 NLU, about to graduate soon. Even with a decent rank, some publications, and a tier-1 internship under my belt, I haven’t been able to land a job yet. My family is dealing with a lot of debt right now, and I’ve also taken a student loan to finish my studies. A job at this point would really change things for me and help take some pressure off at home.
If any of you know of any openings in law firms, corporate teams, or even litigation chambers where someone like me could actually get a fair chance, I’d be really grateful if you could refer me or just point me in the right direction. I’m open to doing an assessment internship where I can be seriously considered for the job.
If nothing works out, I’ll probably have to shift fully towards preparing for government exams. Honestly, this feels like my last real shot at making things work.
