Litigation is perhaps the most sought-after career avenues in the legal profession. Law students and young graduates interested in litigation are often seeking to get valuable experience under their belt before pursuing litigation full-time. Another related field, judicial appointments are also a popular choice. Therefore, students wish to intern with practicing with lawyers as well as judges who are occupying the highest public offices in the country.
Securing an internship at a Judges’ Chambers can be a trying task. This is mostly because there are very few vacancies, and the procedure itself may turn out to be tedious. Most of the time one may have to apply physically and in the post-pandemic situation, this may turn out to be particularly difficult.
