If you’re a law student serious about becoming a litigator, this is where your classroom theory meets courtroom reality. A Legal Intern Litigation Advocate Darshit Jain opening is now live in Mumbaiโand itโs not for the faint-hearted.
Youโll work directly under Advocate Darshit Jain, handling real legal matters in the domains of Criminal Law, Commercial Litigation, and Intellectual Property Rights. This is not your coffee-fetching internship. Itโs in-court, on-site, and full-timeโwhere youโll be doing real research, real drafting, and real legal work.
About the Internship: What Youโll Be Doing
The internship starts in July 2025 and requires a minimum commitment of 2 months from the interns. Youโll be expected to:
- Assist in court proceedingsโyes, youโll be in court, not just reading about it.
- Conduct legal research that mattersโactual inputs for actual cases.
- Draft legal documents, applications, and case briefs.
- Handle client documentation and help manage day-to-day tasks at the chamber.
All of this under the guidance of a practicing advocate who believes in giving interns real responsibility. This is an immersive experience designed to train you for the profession, not babysit you through it.
Practice Areas Youโll Work In the Internship
This internship focuses on three dynamic branches of litigation:
- Criminal Law โ From bail applications to trial strategy.
- Commercial Law โ Contractual disputes, trade litigation, and more.
- Intellectual Property Rights โ Trademark infringement, copyright disputes, etc.
Expect variety. Expect challenges. Expect growth.
Non-Negotiables: Read This Before You Apply
Weโre not here to sugarcoat. There are clear expectations from applicants. Here’s what matters:
1. Marathi is Mandatory
No, not because it’s cool to ask in Maharashtra. Because the kind of clients and matters we deal with require it. If you canโt read basic Marathi legal documents, this internship is not for you.
2. Email Like a Professional
Don’t send your resume without a proper subject line, email body, or cover letter. This is not Instagram DMs. We’re lawyers. We read and write for a living. Respect that.
3. Keep Your Selfies Off Your CV
This is an internship for legal minds, not lifestyle influencers. Your professional headshot is fine. Your filtered vacation pic is not.
4. Donโt Get Shocked by a Young Interviewer
Your interviewer might not be wearing grey hair and grandpa glasses. Donโt act surprised if a millennial in robes questions your sloppy file naming skills (Yes, weโve seen โFINAL_FINAL_THIS_ONE_REAL_CV.docxโ too many times).
Who Should Apply for the internship?
You’re a good fit for the internship if:
- You’re a law student in your 3rd year or above (5-year course) or final year (3-year LL.B.).
- You want to build a career in litigation and get court exposure.
- You’re punctual, detail-oriented, and not afraid to hustle.
- You can handle both Marathi and English legal material.
- You value professionalismโin your work, your communication, and your attitude.
This internship isnโt for everyone. But if youโre looking to sharpen your legal sword, this is your forge.
