When I visit a law school, I usually get asked a particular question. Last weekend I visited National Law University, Orissa to judge a startup pitching competition, as a part of their Google Startup Weekend program. I was expecting more questions about entrepreneurship, but the question I inevitably got several times was this: ‘Sir, I am in 2nd year. If I have to get into a law firm like Trilegal, AZB or SAM what should I do?
Sure, it is a law school after all. The dream job is, of course, to work in biglaw. Where else do they pay college graduates 1.5 lakh per month! It’s the pinnacle of success, the law school dream come true.
I realised while I answered this question a lot of time orally, I am yet to write a specific article about what all things you should do in law school to maximize your chances of making it. I have written quite a bit about how different aspects of how to get into a law firm. For example, a beginners guide to law firm interview, how to tell if you are ready to work at a law firm, how to prepare for law firm interviews, even what not to do in a law firm interview, what are the areas to focus on in order to be an attractive hire for law firms, important skills to cultivate, why it is so important to find your passion in law school and pursue it, how I quit a law firm job to chase my dream and a lot of other stuff like that.
It is now high time I write one simple guide on what are the steps you can follow to drastically improve your chance of getting a job at a tier 1 law firm. This article is primarily based on my experience on guiding hundreds of students who have gotten into tier-one and tier-two law firms in last 7 years.
