One to four weeks with a legal documentation and filing company in Delhi. Not photocopying, and not a certificate for showing up: research that gets read, citations that get checked, checklists that get used, and files you can follow from the first document to the registry counter. Free at every stage, and we sign your internship diary.
You tell us which you want when you apply. Most students pick "either", because what matters is getting a seat, not whose seat it is.
Documentation, drafting and filing work at our own office — the paperwork side of the profession, which is where most matters actually begin and end. You see how a file is built before it ever reaches a court.
In the chamber of a Bar Council enrolled advocate from our directory. Your application goes to them; the first one to accept takes you on, and only then do they see your phone number and email. Nothing is charged to you, and the advocate pays us nothing either.
Either way the rules below are the same — the same list of what you may do, the same limits, the same diary, and the same factual certificate at the end. Our office stays responsible for the record.
These are the things a law student can lawfully do at a company that is not a law firm. The ones marked supervised go through a qualified person before they leave the building. Nothing an intern produces reaches a client, a court or a registry unreviewed — that is not a lack of trust, it is the line the law draws.
Statutes, rules, notifications and case law, written up for the team — never sent to a client as advice.
Checking that every section and case reference actually says what the draft claims.
Reading a document closely for sense, grammar and consistency before anyone else sees it.
Working out exactly which papers a particular filing or registration needs.
Annexure numbering, page limits, registry formatting rules, stamp-duty tables.
Clerical support on the portals — data entry, fee computation, acknowledgements — under instruction.
Following matters on eCourts and the display boards and keeping the tracker current.
Receiving, scanning, naming and indexing papers against a checklist, and chasing what is missing.
Between English and Indian languages, and typing up recordings and notes.
File digitisation, records management and keeping the internal registers accurate.
Building and improving our own templates — reviewed and approved before any client use.
Building due-date calendars from public sources so nothing is missed.
Explaining a law simply for our website, clearly marked as general information, not advice.
Sitting in on registry visits, office meetings and court visits, and writing the diary up properly.
Writing down how a filing workflow actually runs, step by step.
We publish this list rather than bury it. Under sections 29, 33 and 45 of the Advocates Act, 1961 only an advocate enrolled with a State Bar Council may practise law, and practising without enrolment is a criminal offence — so during this internship you will not:
If an internship anywhere promises you court appearances or client advice before you are enrolled, that is the one to be careful of — for your sake, not ours.
Your details, your college and course, when you want to start and for how many weeks, and the kinds of work you want to do. CV and college letter are optional at this stage; the college letter is needed before you start.
An LSS-INT reference appears on screen. With your mobile number it opens your application on the Track page any time — no login, no password.
Every application is read by a person. If the dates work we call, talk through what you would be doing, tell you who will supervise you, and settle the stipend question in writing. We will also tell you honestly if we cannot give you the work you were hoping for.
You get a panel of your own with the work assigned to you, a box to send it back with a note, and your internship diary. Write the diary as you go — it is far easier than reconstructing it later.
At the end we verify the diary, sign it, and issue a certificate with a number your college can check with us. Both say exactly what you did.
A certificate is only worth something if the person reading it believes it. So ours is plain and factual, it carries a number we will verify for your college on a phone call, and it reads roughly like this:
What it will never say is that you "practised law", "appeared before" anything, "drafted pleadings independently" or "advised clients" — because none of that would be true, and a careful reader at a law firm or a university would spot it. We would rather give you something that survives scrutiny.
Call and ask. We will tell you honestly what the work looks like in the week you are free, and whether it is worth your time — including if the answer is no.
