The Bar Council of India has made it mandatory for the registered law students to undergo internship during their law degree academic years.
While a 12 weeks' internship is required for students pursuing a 3-year course, and for a 5-year course, a 20 weeks' internship is necessary. This is the minimum requirement. Interns can continue for more weeks beyond this.
After completion of the internship, an intern can approach his mentor in the law firm to provide him with an internship completion certificate.
The following samples of internship certificates and letters are for your reference. They are to be filled in with necessary details and printed on the letterhead of the advocate or law firm.
