How did you apply: I applied via the Internship and Placement Committee of Bennett University

First day formalities, infrastructure, first impression: The first day was a full packed session where the students got to familiarise themselves with the team and express what they expected from the internship. It was a very welcoming and... for the lack of a formal word, fun session, as we talked about what made us choose law as a career option, what we look forward to, our honest opinions on a variety of topics etc. The team displayed immense patience by allowing each and every one of us to speak and elaborate upon our views even though the meeting went well over the pre-decided time. Unfortunately, the exceptional circumstance of this period did not allow us to explore the infrastructure or meet each other in real life, but the regular meetings and the team members constantly checking up on us maintained a comfortable and professional environment.

Main tasks: Main tasks of this internship involved article writing, debate writing, circulation of information and memorial writing.

Work environment: The work environment was pleasantly professional. Communication with the organisers and peers felt easy-going and smooth. They were readily available online and on phone calls; and were prompt in providing clarification about things we were unsure about.

Good things: Easy communication, a sense of understanding and comfort shared by every member of the internship as well as the team, general flexibility (timings of certain tasks were adjusted according to the students’ university commitments), organisers were considerate towards the students and mindful of other priorities and engagements they might have, adequate guidance at each and every step, interactive sessions, students had a say in their tasks etc.

Bad things: Inadequate time management

Stipend (if any): — No

Anything else? Like: what you did to chill out, lessons learnt etc.: Students shared a very cordial relationship with the team. We joked and laughed in almost every meeting. There were no strict restrictions on language, dress code, format etc. You could comfortably be an introvert here. Overall, it was a very easy-going and efficacious experience. We received an authentic preview of life at a law school straight from the horse’s mouth.
