Criteria for Adjudication

1. Detailed, complete, and helpful

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

Please make sure that the internship experience written by you contains all the details that a regular internship experience on Lawctopus does. Extra points for including helpful details like the ‘contact details, finding accommodation’ etc.

And it should be helpful. Anyone who reads your piece should get some idea about what to expect from the internship.

2. Be 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 thousands 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 others.

However, please do not defame (you know the law and exceptions) and please do not send in an advertorial write-up.

3. Be Creative

Surprise us. If you want to run wild with your ideas, we would love to hear them. You don’t need to stick to a template. As long as you are giving the required information, feel free to be as literary.

You can also include photos etc. that you clicked during your internship.
