1. Dress to Impress
Being a law student, you simply know the value of
presenting yourself nicely. No matter how cliched it might sound, following the
proper dress code shows you're disciplined, a trait that will last with you
throughout your law career.
2. Attitude Matters
Don't be lazy or sloppy in your work. Listen to
what your seniors and staff members are saying carefully. Carry the attitude of
a learner. Appear as a positive person and you'll see everyone knows you at the
workplace.
3. Can't Compromise on Attendance
Time is money in any field. But in legal matters,
it's the real deal. If you're working under a lawyer, ensure that you're
punctual to the established timing. Nothing embarrassed your boss or
disappoints a client than a late-comer who is unaware of the case or perhaps
happenings around.
4. Ask & You Shall be Given
The possibility that the lawyer or person you
working under is a busy professional is very high. Hence, if you aren't getting
any work just because you aren't getting noticed, it's your proactive behavior
that should compel you to go to staff members and ask for some challenging
work. Remember, as an intern you need to learn as much as you can. Don't
hesitate, just ask.
5.
Be Mr./Ms. Dependable
The moment you're assigned some responsibility,
it's the password for you to show how good you are. Involve in it intently.
Keep in mind the deadlines and do your best. Once you start showing credible
work, you'll be given more. That's how you win hearts of your manager or guide.
And yes, you develop confidence in the process too.
Follow these five tips and you'll find your
internship experience will be awesome. Do share with us your experiences in the
