of Law, Nirma University, VIII year
In which firm/organisation did you
intern. Kindly tell us something about the firm-
-I interned
at Numen Law Office, Delhi under Advocate on Record Mr George Thomas. It is a new
firm which was established in 2019. It has diversified areas of legal practice and
a team of talented lawyers. They also have another office in Mumbai. So, one
can even apply for an internship there as well, as per convenience.
What was the duration of the Internship
and daily timings?
- I did a 1-month
internship and there was no daily timing as such because it was a virtual
internship, but rather I was provided with different assignments which needed
to be done in a specified time, generally 2-3 days. And Sunday happens to be
off.
How did
you apply and secure internship?
- I mailed
them my CV and cover letter on their official email id, which is provided on their
official website and later called them. Afterwards, I went through 2 interview rounds,
one was general and the other one was specific.
What are the core areas of law dealt in
the firm/organisation?
- Arbitration,
banking and finance, criminal litigation, commercial disputes, competition and
anti-trust, real estate, co-operative societies, insolvency and bankruptcy and
taxation.
What were the main tasks assigned to
you?
- My main task was to read the case laws,
mostly civil in nature, and to brief sir regarding it along with my opinion. I was
supposed to tell the situation persisting prior to the judgement and what possible
consequences it might lead to. While briefing the facts, sections, argument advance
and judgement needs to be on the tips.
How comfortable did you find the work
environment?
- It was a very
comfortable environment to work in. Sir provided me with adequate time to
prepare for my work and helped me to understand the complexity of the laws. At no
point, it was overexerting or even slacking but an adequate work pressure to
learn the nuances of the law.
Were there any specific breaks given. If
yes, what were the timings?
- No there was no such specific break provided.
Did you attend any Courts?
- Yes, I
did attend the virtual Supreme Court proceedings.
What were the perks? Was stipend
provided. If yes, how much?
- No, there was no stipend provided.
Were there any things that should be
improved?
- Internship
is all about gaining practical knowledge but on a virtual platform, it becomes difficult
to reap such benefit. But that is altogether a different issue. The firm has helped
me a lot in understanding different legal issues and how to read and understand
a law.
