“How to choose the right internships in Law school?” is a topic that all law students either pursuing their 5-year BA-LLB or 3-year LLB courses or aspiring for doing such a course from any of the top law colleges in India struggle with and are utterly confused about. This is because they really do not know what kind of internships to do in order to land up in the right job.
Experiences of ex-students who have completed their study of law from some of the top law schools in India offering BA LLB or LLB courses – like Asian Law College (ALC) in Delhi NCR’s Noida – suggests that perhaps the best way to counter this dilemma is to opt for dividing their internships in various areas so as to accumulate a range of exposures to bank upon while making the final career choice in this field of law.
To elucidate: If you are a first-year student, then there is a likely chance that you do not know what exactly is your calling or what you might end up doing? Some might think that they really like Corporate Law and may, therefore, want to become a Corporate lawyer. But, three years down the line or by the end of the fourth year or fifth year you may think “no, I was wrong, I really don’t want to become a Corporate lawyer, my actual calling is that I really want to serve people.” You want to go for litigation but then, you look at your CV and all your internships are in corporate law. Now, what do you do?
So, one should never stick to one kind of internship because that might become a problem when they realize that their area of interest has changed. Therefore, one should always divide your internships.
