I first started working in a law firm before my final results were out. My company employed me just based on my earlier results and fortunately the company was just besides my house. It took me barely 15 minutes travel time while most of my friends were placed in the suburban areas which used to take them 2-3 hours to travel back and forth. I considered myself lucky at that time but I knew that it wouldn't be an easy job as I had worked before in an office but never had experience with legal cases. It was the first time and I was quite nervous too.
First day in the court:
I remember this day till now as that day it was the first ever time I entered the court. My legs were shivering as I walked in and I could see police men and criminals with hand cuffs walked in and out of the court room. I had prepared myself for this day and my boss too had made me prepare all the necessary documents that would be required.
As the judge entered the courtroom, we all stood up and greeted him and he then ordered everyone to take our seat. I just kept looking at him and shaking my legs in nervousness. My boss got up and then the hearing started. It was a criminal case where a man was caught for theft and my boss was the defence lawyer. He asked me for the papers and I quickly passed the same so that he could submit papers to prove the person innocent. He kept presenting proofs that made the judge agree with him and release the person who was charged for theft. I was so happy to see that my boss won the case and this was a great experience to witness what I would need to do when I become a lawyer. I saw the client thank my boss and my boss turned to me and congratulated me too for helping him in the case.
I feel that it is always a first time when we start working and it's necessary that we have a proper mentor and I was lucky in this case. My boss was the perfect person who could help me to while I was an intern and I kept watching him fight cases, I used to gain more knowledge. I had made notes of all the facts that would be useful when I finally would start fighting my cases and these notes came handy to me when I actually started working as a Lawyer.
I’m sharing my first internship experience for the #MyInternTheory activity at BlogAdda in association with Intern Theory.
