@ priya , i think interning in legal dept. of enterprises has equal value to law firms

Mr Gopal Subramanium, Sr. Adv., Solicitor General of India

Mr K.K. Venugopal, Sr. Adv.

@ Priya : depends upon how active the inhouse legal dept is or do they outsource their legal work to some firm. If they have a relatively active legal cell in IBM.. then ur internship gives u a fair chance at recruitment advantage with them

I m in first yr RGNUL

Tisrock 6 Jun 2010, 16:27

lol. 1st yr NLUD, Interning at NALSAR and maybe LSE

prakhar 6 Jun 2010, 17:04

@ Vikramaditya. DIstt. Courts wud be a better option. My frnd had internred at NCW, its gud for CV but distt court gives a true experience of fxning of courts. I sometimes visit patiala distt court n its kinda helpful.

@ Icemanish : wow, sounds like fun, which college? How do I get “high-power” internships like that ? {I’m just entering law school)

Is it advantageous to start interning from first year itself?

LegalPoet 11 Jun 2010, 12:53

Yes. In an NGO.

But since nowadays you can do three internships in an year, you can also intern under a trial court lawyer.

Cheers.

Welcome to NUJS.

Don’t worry about these things for now. You can worry about them later.

Thanks :)

how’s life at nujs? Rocking? Strenuous?

And how does one get selected for a moot team?

(sorry for posting these questions in this thread)

LegalPoet 11 Jun 2010, 15:24

Life at NUJS is both strenuous and rocking.

You’ll be in the moot team after three rounds of elimination.

A real tough process, mind you.

A request though: chill. You’ll learn all of these things with time.

viku49 18 Jun 2010, 22:32

how to get an internship in NGO in the 1st year?

AnonymousLLB 19 Jun 2010, 10:29

First thing you should learn in a law school is called the The Indian Jugaad Act, of time immemorial… try to make friendship with your Senior, he/she may help you out with impt notes, books, internship, moot teams and what not, butter your teachers… no doubt how impartial one may look, everybody loves to be buttered… if your law school doesn’t have a proper placement cell, then write to the NGO’s yourself…

cherrysusan1987 19 Jun 2010, 15:02

Thank you for your advice..i will try for human right commission.Thanks again..

viku49 19 Jun 2010, 16:12

@ legally fresh

I interned at Hitachi Home and Life Solutions (India) Ltd. Its a good place to work. They teach you contracts and agreements properly and are very supportive too. Overall rating 9/10.
