Moot courts and research publications are often considered important for building a law student's CV, but how much difference do they actually make when applying for internships and jobs?

For current students and graduates of Faculty of Law, DU, have moots or publications helped you get better opportunities or stand out during applications?

Are they genuinely useful for developing practical legal skills and improving career prospects, or do internships, networking, and academic performance matter more?

Would love to hear some real experiences, especially from those who have been through the recruitment process.

A lot of things about law college only become clear after you actually start studying there.

For those who are currently at Faculty of Law or have already graduated, what’s something you wish you had known before joining?

It could be about academics, attendance, internships, professors, competition, networking, campus life, or even the kind of career opportunities available after graduation.

What’s one thing you would tell someone who is about to join Faculty of Law?

With a 3-year LLB, there seems to be a lot to figure out in a relatively short time, especially when it comes to internships, CV building and eventually finding a job.

For current 3-year LLB students, when did you start seriously thinking about placements and what kind of career you wanted after graduation?

Did you start from the first year, or do you think the second year is early enough? And for those who have already graduated, what do you wish you had started doing earlier?

Would be especially interested in hearing from people who were aiming for corporate law, in-house roles or litigation.

For students who are interested in corporate law, I’m curious about when you actually started taking it seriously.

Did you start building your CV, looking for internships, learning about corporate law, networking, or working on relevant skills from first year itself? Or did you only start thinking about it once you got closer to graduation?

For seniors especially, what do you wish you had started earlier?
