Hmmm…Nice internship for a second Year. Thats difficult to say. If you dad or any realtive is a big shot you could try some law firms. If not try the following limited options

Competition Commission

National law Academy ( very good and recommended)

Janagraha, Bangalore

There are more than enough human rights groups out there looking for interns.

But if you ask me the best thing to do is to visit the courts and understand court procedure. Intern under a good lawyer and u wont regret it when u know basic litigation stuff when you do get placed with a firm or company. Also ensure that u intern at the place where u plan to work in the future.

If you do this i guarantee that you will see the rot behind all the shimmer. It made me re-evalute my options and gave me an understanding of the real LAW.

Best of luck

If I had to do it all over again, I would have worked under an individual lawyer practising in a district court who could at least teach me stuff like filing. Big law firms dont teach that but they always value those who who know it.

Big tip : Under no circumstance should you intern for money. My friends who joined LPOS are really regretting their decisions now due their limited job options.
