WHAT MAKES THIS INTERNSHIP UNIQUE

Legitimate Scrutiny’s Internship Programme is a free-of-cost internship which has been designed as one of its kind, offering interns a highly organized, mentor-led, and performance-driven legal training experience.

Unlike ordinary internships, every intern receives:

A well-structured Internship Calendar covering the complete 3-month plan of action.
Clear weekly task allocation and performance tracking.
Rotational exposure across multiple legal verticals.
Consistent mentor feedback and review system.
Practical learning aligned with academic schedules and university examinations.

This phased structure ensures interns progressively develop their skills without unnecessary academic pressure while maintaining meaningful engagement with practical legal work throughout the internship tenure.

FIRST THREE MONTHS – STRONG THEORETICAL FOUNDATION

The first three months of the internship are specifically focused on strengthening the theoretical understanding of law while connecting it with practical legal application.
The objective is simple: to ensure that interns first understand the foundation of legal work before moving toward advanced professional execution.
Dedicated legal sessions are conducted to help interns understand the nuances of law, improve conceptual clarity, and build confidence in practical legal understanding.
Some indicative topics include:

Legal Research Methodologies
Citation Techniques and Academic Writing Standards
Drafting of Legal Notices, Replies & Representations
Legal Opinion Writing
Pleadings – Plaints, Written Statements, Applications & Affidavits
Contract Drafting and Clause Analysis
Criminal Practice Basics
Civil Procedure Essentials
Corporate Compliance Basics
Consumer Disputes and Cheque Bounce Matters
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)
Professional Ethics
Client Confidentiality
Courtroom and Office Etiquette

It is important to note that these topics are general in nature and remain subject to modification based on the academic level, understanding, and practical requirements of the interns.
This ensures that:

First-year students are taught what is most useful and foundational for them
Senior and final-year students receive more advanced and professionally relevant exposure

The internship is designed so that every intern, regardless of their year of study, finds the sessions valuable, engaging, and easy to absorb, rather than feeling burdened by them. The goal is to make legal learning enjoyable, practical, and truly beneficial for every participant.

DEDICATED LEGAL TRAINING SESSIONS ON EVERY SATURDAY

Every Saturday, exclusive training sessions are conducted to cover the practical and professional nuances of law. These sessions are mentor-led, highly structured, and aimed at helping students understand the real working style of the legal profession beyond textbooks and classrooms. The focus remains on practical understanding, professional development, and skill enhancement so that interns receive exposure that actually helps them in litigation, corporate practice, academics, and future professional opportunities.

SUNDAY CAREER COUNSELLING, INTERNATIONAL GUIDANCE & WEBINARS

Sundays are specially reserved for career counselling, international exposure, and professional guidance sessions, ensuring that interns grow not only as law students but also as future legal professionals. This internship is designed with the vision of shaping careers, not merely completing internship formalities. To provide holistic support, two dedicated counselors have been appointed to guide young legal professionals through various academic, professional, and personal concerns, while also ensuring that their mental well-being is carefully looked after throughout this demanding legal journey.

The virtual counselling sessions will be conducted by Advocate Sahas Arora, who has served as Editor at St. George’s College, pursued legal education from ILS Law College, and holds an MSc in Criminology and Criminal Justice from the University of Oxford. These sessions are aimed at providing strategic guidance, clarity, and mentorship to interns navigating their legal careers.

Additional Sunday counselling sessions will be conducted by Advocate Saakshya Garkoti, an Author, Legal Commentator, Listed Arbitrator at the Uttarakhand State Legal Services Authority, and an LL.M. Candidate at NUJS Kolkata. Through these sessions, interns will receive practical and professional guidance on crucial areas such as CV building and professional profile development, approaching top law firms for internships, internship strategies for Tier-1 and Big Law firms, post-graduation academic planning including LL.M. and higher studies, understanding corporate work culture and professional expectations, choosing between litigation and corporate career paths, and developing essential long-term professional skills required for sustained success in the legal field.

These counselling sessions are specifically structured to help interns become stronger professionals, better individuals, and more confident legal aspirants. Beyond the live virtual sessions, continuous support will be ensured through weekly email counselling, where interns can seek further clarification, career advice, and professional guidance on an ongoing basis.

The weekly email counselling support will also be separately handled by Advocate Parth Goswami, a practicing Advocate at the Judicature of the Allahabad High Court, with expertise in Civil and Commercial Taxation, and who also serves as a Visiting Professor at United Institute, Prayagraj, teaching Professional Ethics and Arbitration. His mentorship ensures that interns receive practical insights from active legal practice along with academic clarity and professional direction.

In addition to professional counselling, Sundays will also serve as a dedicated platform for international legal exposure. Free international webinars (only for interns) will be hosted regularly to provide interns with broader perspectives on law beyond domestic practice. Subject- specific guidance across various fields of law will be offered, along with exposure to international legal standards, comparative legal systems, and global professional expectations. This initiative is designed to help interns understand the evolving nature of legal practice in an increasingly interconnected world. This makes the internship truly distinctive by ensuring that interns receive not only academic learning and practical legal training but also long-term career mentorship, global exposure, and professional development. The objective is not simply internship completion, but meaningful career shaping, preparing interns to become capable, confident, and well-guided legal professionals for the future.

The interns shall be guided on the following portions specifically by our dedicated career counseling team of professional experts:

CV Building and Professional Profile Development.
How to Approach Top Law Firms for Internships.
Internship Strategies for Tier-1 and Big Law Firms.
Post-Graduation Academic Guidance (LL.M., Higher Studies, Career Planning);
Corporate Work Culture and Professional Expectations.
Litigation vs Corporate Career Path Guidance.
Skill Development for Long-Term Career Growth.

These sessions are designed to help interns become better individuals, stronger professionals, and more confident legal aspirants. Additionally, further doubts and professional guidance will be addressed through weekly email counselling support.

In addition to this, Sundays will also serve as a platform for international legal exposure.

Free International Webinars will be hosted regularly.
Subject-specific guidance across various fields of law will be provided.
Exposure to international legal perspectives and professional standards will be introduced
