You don’t need an Internship!

For most professions,
you learn the practical side through internships.

You intern in courts to understand the art of advocacy. You intern with law firms to grasp corporate law.

But if you ever dream of entering teaching or academia, you don’t need an internship!

All you really need is to observe your favourite teachers.

Recently, I had to take Constitutional Law classes for CSEET students in Ujire, Karnataka.

And I used the same notes to teach them that Kartik Sir once made us write.

I used similar examples because that’s how he made the subject come alive for us.

The students there were a little shy and guarded, and I found myself comforting them just the way Vishwajeet Sir and Shalini Ma’am used to do for us.

And every time I got stuck,
I went back to Suraj Sir
A teacher I met in school, and a mentor I kept for life.

It made me realise that teaching is the only field where you can actually learn from the person you aspire to become.

Ignorance of law is not a defence.

Yet in reality, most laypersons have little to no idea how courts actually work. The practicality of crimes and trials often remains hidden—people neither read the law, nor would they fully understand it if they did.

To bridge this gap, I’ve started a new series: Law in Practice.

The idea is simple—bring clear, practical conversations on:
🔹 What constitutes a specific offence
🔹 How to file an FIR
🔹 Rights of the victim & defences of the accused
🔹 Evidences that make or break a case
🔹 Trial strategies and appeals

This series is for the general public, who deserve awareness of their rights, and for young professionals, who need practical insights to navigate litigation better.

The first episode covers one of the most sensitive and significant areas of criminal law—rape cases. We go beyond bare provisions to discuss the real process, rights, and evidences that matter in court.

This is our small step towards ensuring that people are not ignorant of law, but empowered by it.

From crying in my fresher’s moot to mentoring juniors for theirs—got to take a session on one of my favorite topics, Moot Courts!

A small win for me as I work on helping law students through content, but doing it one-on-one this time made it even more special. Loved sharing insights, strategies, and the thrill of mooting with them!

Knowing your career options is just 40% of the process!

When we entered our fourth year of law school, I saw my friends struggling with career choices, boxed into the usual paths: corporate, litigation, or judiciary. Back then, I naively thought this confusion was just due to a lack of knowledge.

I started Beyond The Brief - Podcast with a simple goal: to bridge the gap between law students and legal professionals.

Fifteen months into podcasting—after speaking with numerous professionals—I’ve realized that just knowing your options solves only 40% of the problem.

The remaining 60%? That depends on personal factors like city, finances, job roles, interest, work-life balance, and a hundred other things.

Sometimes, it’s overwhelming to even articulate what’s holding you back. That’s where long-term connections—mentors—make all the difference.

I was lucky to find my mentor in Class 8. He knows my strengths, weaknesses, background—everything. Even today, he continues to guide me, and for that, I feel incredibly grateful.

I hope you find a mentor who helps you figure out the 60%—while at Beyond The Brief - Podcast, we help you with the rest 40%.

To every student who couldn’t clear CLAT this year, this is for you!

When I couldn’t clear CLAT UG and get admission into an NLU, I was heartbroken, like many others.

But I’ll never forget what one of my mentors told me back then:

“Rashmi, even in the best institutes, there are mediocre students, and even in the most ordinary institutes, there are exceptional ones. Now that you’re not in the best institute, your goal should be to become one of the best students there. And remember, your competition isn’t with the people around you—it’s with the world outside.”

These words were comforting then, and today, they are my constant motivation.

To every student who couldn’t crack CLAT, remember this -
It’s not where you start, but how you rise from here and your journey is still yours to define.

All the very best!
