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.

If you currently don't have referral, search for one among your contacts / extended network, or make new friends/connections who might give you a referral
I don't have a proper list, just going off what I've heard from friends who have been through the process.
I aim to work in a GC team at a Tier 1 / Tier 2 law firm (although Capmarks will also do). What's your advice for me. Should I do paralegalships/ assessment internships after graduation to build more credibility and try to convert it into an A0 position? Or should I just apply as an associate directly after graduation?
Please advice me. If you are comfortable, you can drop your advice here or alternatively you can mail me at corplawfocussed@protonmail.com
Thanks in advance :)
