I assisted the associates in Drafting and researched on points of law.

The interns who are interested in the topic of “Human rights” will be allowed to prepare a draft for PILs.

My worked ranged from case law searches, to filing brief of the cases. All in all, you can be assigned to any work. Just take it in as a learning experience.

The work environment is pretty great at VB Law associates.

The associates are really cool to work with. The Staff is very friendly and are always ready to help. They are approachable and act like buddies at the same time they are little stiff with the work allotted to the intern. You can easily ask any queries and they are always ready to Help.
