Saturdays were the best days of week, with Sir sharing his experiences with us- his law school experience, his Work experience.

Anything else

Sir used to focus on Quality of work.

Hence, through this internship, I’ve learnt the value of Quality work and how demanding the field is.

He stressed the importance of staying abreast with latest news and also reading bare acts, case laws apart from regular text book material.

I am indebted to Sir for having giving me the chance, despite being from a Non Law Background.

Biggest lessons

Focus on quality and you are never too late to start anything, were the biggest takeaways from this internship.
