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?
Talking about stipend which is your main concern, if you develop and rapport with the person and they are open minded ( rare in legal field "sigh"), they will pay stipend.
Alternatively, look for internships which pay (not many exist). Assessment interns get paid though in good law firms.
Majority firms (excluding the top firms) pay 10-15k and max 35-40k to 0-3 PQE. No one cares and that amount doesn't mean much over time.
Please learn other skills on the side or keep grinding and get a corporate/inhouse role.
Hope this helps.
