Details:
We love details; details help us all make informed choices about our internships. Do make sure your internship experience has lots of useful details!

Complete:
Do check some previous internship experiences published on Lawctopus to check what all details you can put (but don’t restrict yourself to just that!)

Helpful:
Extra points for including helpful details like the ‘contact details’, ‘PG details’ etc.

2. Honest:
If it was a bad experience, write about it without fear! If it was a superb experience, go full on! Your internship experience will be read by 1000s of law students in years to come and they’ll make their internship/career decisions based on what you write. Please be detailed and honest. It’s your duty towards your friends and peers. However, please do not defame anyone (you know the laws) and please do not send in an advertorial write-up.

3. Well-written and personalized:
Give the writer in you a real go! Check your write-up for grammar etc. Put in some fun, some personal experiences etc. Just as an idea, how about an internship experience as a poem?

The internship experience shared must be for an internship which started or ended between October 2014 and February 2016. The minimum duration for an internship to be shared as an ‘internship experience’ for the purposes of this competition is 2 weeks.
