On the very first of the internship, an introductory session was conducted and we were taught what is the work need to be done. Either we have to write 3 blogs or1 Article and 1 Blog in a month on the topic assigned by the mentor or by the choice of the intern which must get approved by the Jus Corpus team.
After that, the intern shall start on the research work and submit the work within the prescribed time limit. The session lasted for about 1 hour in which full detailed analysis was made via a document file was sent to the Whatsapp group.

The main task of the interns is basically to work on the topic assigned either blog or journal article. Research plays an important part while writing any blog or article. In depth analysis is to be made for understanding the topic, thinking logically about the sub topics and critical analysis of each article is due fully needed, so that it is evident that the intern has truthfully researched upon the topic and based upon which a critical analysis is made.

The Senior Editors are always in constant touch with the interns with any sort of help needed. Serious interns can excel their skills on legal research and writing and eventually gives a platform for showcasing their skills. The mentors are reviewing the paper of the interns and if any error occurs they instruct the intern to rectify it and then submit their work.
Good things
It is considered a hub of learning and exponential methods of researching in the best possible way. We got to develop the thinking process on not only sticking to one viewpoint but widening the boundaries of the thought process, questioning about how this topic is related to other and properly maintain the decency while working on the topic. The mentors were very much supportive and encouraged us on doing the work.
They were eager to answer each and every query of each intern and communication with them helped a lot with clearing of facts in mind. Legal research skills, writing skills have improved on a high note and also the fear of talking to seniors have also elapsed. The mentors were very good and would sometime crack jokes when the flow of the session is somewhat diverted to bring back the interns into the main flow of the session.
Bad things
The interns were much stressed out during the research period as it is one of the toughest and hectic thing to do which will ensure a good fruit in the near future.
Stipend
No stipend is paid during the internship.
