It’s not easy and most international firms have really cut back their recruitment from India compared to the glory days of 10 years (or even 5 years) ago.

It’s not impossible but you’ll have to really make your CV shine, get a lot of good internship experience with good Indian firms / advocates, and then apply really well to a bunch of foreign firms or hope for campus interviews (which are rare, even at Jodhpur, I think).

Good luck!

Ps: You’ll also want to make sure you proof read very carefully so there are no typos in anything you send them :)

These days, in all honesty and in my opinion, none.

NLSIU obviously still has it the easiest internationally, because of it’s history, but even there only a minority actually get foreign firm jobs.

Why don’t you browse through some of these articles and look at some of the recent years’ figures for yourself:

Hi Kian, Is doing a JD from a T14 law school in the US after 5 year law degree a good option to get an international placement or is getting a green card in the US impossible for Indians.
