Once, one of the top seven law firms in India shortlisted 17 fresh law graduates for interview.
Considering they were going to hire just two out of them, it was a tough battle amongst the candidates.
One amongst the 17 was a LawSikho student. During her interview she said her favorite area of law is FDI and investment law.
Now that is not something recruiters expect to hear from students, because such topics are not properly taught in law schools. Hence, they asked her what she knew about it.
She had a gala time answering that question. She told them everything she knew about investment law which she had studied in LawSikho.
The fresh law graduate emerged from the interview room and walked down six flights of stairs with the confidence that she had landed the job.
Well, she was one of the two people who was offered a job finally.
You need to know the subject well enough and if a law firm partner starts talking to you about it, he or she will be definitely impressed by how much you know. That’s the easiest way to crack a law firm interview, which has been proven time and again.
In the chosen area, you have to know the obvious stuff that is taught in law school that everyone is expected to know, but also a lot more. You need to know the practical aspects of law that lawyers face when they deal with clients in real life. You find out about this topic as much as you can.
The subject cannot be any random area of law but something law firms are popular at.
