DEAN’S MESSAGE
It gives me immense pleasure to bring to you this exhaustive Internship Guidebook that the
Training and Recruitment Division of our college has compiled for the reference of law
students. Internship is the most important aspect of a Law School and contributes to bridge
the gap between classroom learning and practical exposure. However it has been observed
that fresh law students find it difficult to take their first step when it comes to interning,
therefore, the necessity of this guidebook was felt.
This guide will help the students in planning their Internships ahead and overcome the hurdle
of applying for the same. In addition to this, the guidebook also annexes a Sample Covering
Letter, Sample Curriculum Vitae and an exhaustive Directory of places to Intern at.

1. INTRODUCTION
A. WHAT IS A LEGAL INTERNSHIP?
i. NGOs
ii. Trial or Appellate Advocates
iii. Judiciary
iv. Legal Regulatory Authorities
v. Legislatures
vi. Legal Functionaries
vii. Corporate Houses
viii. Law Firms

Interning will stand out on the students’ resume and help them with their job
search after graduation. Interns gain on-the-job training that integrates
education and career development. Everyone the students meets during the
course of their internship is now a contact. These people can help guide their
career path as they make their way into the professional world. These people
know other people in the industry as well and can provide introductions. The
fellow interns they meet may also become great contacts in the future.
