Legal Internship in Delhi with Advocate Shivom Sethi
Advocate Shivom Sethi is inviting applications for a Legal Internship Delhi opportunity for law students who have completed their third year of a five-year law course. The internship offers practical exposure to litigation, including legal research, drafting, case preparation and court-related assignments.
The opportunity is open to students from any law school. In particular, the invitation states a preference for giving opportunities to non-NLU students. Applicants should have a basic understanding of law, communicate clearly through their drafting and demonstrate logical thinking.
About the Litigation Internship
This legal internship in Delhi offers students an opportunity to understand litigation beyond sections and case law. The internship focuses on practical legal work and the ability to approach problems with sound judgment.
Interns will receive exposure to legal research, drafting, case preparation and court-related assignments. Therefore, the opportunity can help students understand how lawyers approach matters in practice and prepare for litigation.
The internship also places importance on practical thinking. According to the internship invitation, litigation requires more than knowing legal provisions and judgments. Lawyers must understand situations, anticipate the other side’s approach and find workable solutions when the textbook does not provide an obvious answer.
For students interested in building a litigation career, this makes practical judgment an important part of the application.
Eligibility and Work Exposure
The internship is open to students who have completed the third year of a five-year law course.
Students from any law school can apply. The invitation specifically notes a preference for giving opportunities to non-NLU students.
Applicants should demonstrate the following qualities:
- Basic understanding of law
- Ability to draft a coherent paragraph
- Ability to conduct legal research with some direction
- Logical thinking
- Practical problem-solving ability
- Presence of mind and resourcefulness
The internship will involve exposure to litigation work. This includes legal research, drafting, case preparation and court-related assignments.
The application also looks beyond conventional academic credentials. Candidates must explain one incident where they used presence of mind, resourcefulness, negotiation or practical thinking to solve a problem. The incident can relate to law or everyday life. It does not need to be a dramatic courtroom experience.
What the Applicant Should Submit
Applicants should submit their CV and a drafting sample as part of their application.
In addition, candidates should describe one situation in which they used practical judgment to solve a problem. The experience could demonstrate negotiation, resourcefulness, presence of mind or simple street smartness.
The purpose of this question is to understand how the applicant thinks, rather than simply how impressive their experience appears.
Candidates should therefore choose an authentic example and explain their thought process clearly. A simple real-life example can work well if it shows logical thinking and an ability to find a practical solution.
Applicants should also avoid relying on generic internship application templates. The invitation specifically states that applications that appear copied from a standard internship template are unlikely to strengthen a candidate’s case.
How to Apply
Interested candidates can apply by sending their application to:
Email: chambersofshivomsethi@gmail.com

The application should include:
- CV
- Drafting sample
- A brief account of an incident demonstrating presence of mind, resourcefulness, negotiation or practical problem-solving
- Year of study and preferred internship period in the email subject
Students interested in a litigation internship in Delhi should focus on presenting an authentic application that demonstrates both legal ability and practical thinking.
