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?
Freshers do get hired but only the ones who have trained themselves well to be useful to be a senior litigant. No hand holding and absolutely no excuses. Disputes is a ruthless practice, but if you got it, you are already a far better lawyer than almost any other transactional lawyer.
Train madly. Know your bare acts. Stay updated on latest judicial pronouncements. Practice talking in front of a mirror. Mostly this is it and then the rest is genuinely magic.
I do have a top 35 batch rank.
Please explain from batch rank, internships, publications, moots etc.
Especially the skills I need to cultivate for court work and internships I need to do.
So far I have thought to intern in high court and learn how to deal with stuff like drafting and then intern at a t1 disputes team in hopes to convert it to a PPO.
Please help a lost fella out.
