| A HEADSTART: Students are expected to begin interning from the first year of their programme so as to enable maximum internship stints. But are there enough internship openings? |
INTERNSHIPS are slowly but surely becoming an integral part of bachelor’s degree law programme. This is plausibly due to increased expectations in terms of professional skills expected of a law professional, when they hit the market in search of a job. Firms and corporate sector are not willing to spare time for on-the-job learning any more.
Professional courses like CA and CS have successfully experimented with internships by asking for hands-on experience to be integrated with theoretical knowledge during the course duration itself. education has been a late starter on this front but it’s catching up.
Start interning from Year 1
The Bar Council of India (BCI) has made it mandatory for each registered student to complete a minimum of 12-week internship for the three-year course and 20 weeks in case of five years programmes. They have also laid out a criteria regarding how to get started. For instance, one could begin with an NGO and then move gradually from District Court to High Court and eventually to Supreme Court before they land finally in law firms in the last phase of internship. Students are expected to start their internship from the very first year of the course so that they can do maximum possible internships during the duration of the course.
Mix bag of experiences
Law students can do their internship under an NGO, trial and appellate advocates, judiciary, legal regulatory authorities, legal functionaries, market institutions, law firms, companies, where law is practised either in action or in dispute resolution. According to BCI guidelines such internship in any year cannot be for a continuous period of more than four weeks and all students shall at least once in the duration of their academic course pursue internship with trial and appellate advocates.
Conventionally the internship trial expected to be followed by students is:
- 1st Year - Trial Court (criminal/civil) or NGOs
- 2nd Year - Appellate court, High Court/trial court (civil-criminal)
- 3rd Year - Supreme Court/firms
- 4th Year - Corporate firms/judges
- 5th Year - Professional/ career placement

Law students start early with their internships, so that they can apply for more internship programmes, to learn about their profession and its practical aspects. BCI has instructed the State Bar Councils to prepare a list of suggested Senior Advocates district-wise with at least 10 years of experience who are willing to take internship students during the vacation period. BCI shall then publish the list of senior lawyers willing to guide students for internship on its website as well as make the list available with the institutions.<br />
<br />
According to Manisha Sharma, a student of <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nujs.edu/">West Bengal National University</a> of Juridical Sciences, internships help law students during the placements because law firms have a mindset that a student well-versed with internships already know many basic facts. All they need is a little polish. “The internships also assist students in understanding grassroot-level realities which they have to face in future. In my case the PUCL internship gave me such diverse experience, which I have never got before hand,” she says. “It carved out a real, practical picture of the actual world which we will have to face after completing our studies,” she adds. <br />
<br />
To encourage young students, some organisations provide a nominal stipend to interns but not everyone. But as it can be seen, nowadays firms are paying salaries to their interns to encourage them to learn and get trained beforehand. We profile some of the human rights and social organisations in the country where you can look out for pursuing successful internship, especially in the initial year of bachelor law courses. Good luck!</p>
