According to the Bar Council of India (BCI) Rules of Legal Education (Schedule III, Rule 25), every registered student must complete a minimum of 12 weeks of internship for 3-year LL.B programs and 20 weeks for 5-year integrated LL.B programs. Internships must not exceed 4 consecutive weeks during any single academic session, and interns must maintain an internship diary to secure university credit.

First and second-year law students should target trial advocates, District Court litigation chambers, legal aid authorities, and NGOs rather than large corporate firms. This builds core skills in case briefing, section analysis, and court filing. Lawlit regularly curates litigation and research roles explicitly accepting early-year law students.
