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.

Looking for tips on:
- -Structuring research efficiently
- -Avoiding superficial analysis
- -Making briefs more useful
- -Common mistakes interns should avoid
-
Would really appreciate insights from interns who got callbacks/PPO offers on what actually stands out.
P.S. Requesting the moderators to publish this at the earliest—thank you!
This is the best and simplest piece of advice I received from an Associate, which stuck with me.
Instead of approaching tasks academically, trying to show off unnecessary skills, always keep in mind this ultimate goal and be efficient rather than flamboyant in your work, and your senior will greatly appreciate you for it and keep you in his good books.
Also, be cheerful and interactive with the team at large. At the end of the day, they're not just looking for a topper to join the team and not collaborate; they're essentially deciding whether you're a person they want to sit next to for the next couple of years through long nights and difficult moments who can handle the stress.
All the very best!
