I have been admitted into Law school for a 3 year prog. How do I best make use of 3 years at law school considering scarce placement opps?

Hey Saksham.

There are various law schools which do not provide godo placements. But still many students land up with good opportunities in the end as per their own efforts. If you plan to go for Judiciary, then placements in the college won't matter much. Preparing for it would be your prime concern. But if you plan for litigation, the you can pursue internships in various courts- High courts, District courts or the Supreme court and work under lawyers. Sometimes colleges help in landing internships but in some places you might have to use personal contacts for the same. Even in case of a corporate career it will be better to intern under firms for experience, in case you can't rely on the college for placements. Participation in various moots, trial advocacy competitions and winning might help you bag internships( in some cases winners get internship opportunities etc) and will give you a good practical experience. You can also go for research papers and national seminars in various universities. These things might help you build a good CV.

Best of luck
