Eligibility
To be eligible to apply, you must fulfil the following criteria:

You should have participated in at least one corporate law moot court or any international moot court competition.

Main things you will be involved in
You will be part of some breakthrough research and writing activity around practical aspects of business laws. You will have to produce 12 research articles of 1500 words each per month. It can take 3-6 hours per day, and you are free to manage your time in your own way.
Expect to enhance your interest and knowledge in business law in a major way, understand deals much better, enhance your ability to perform in an internship and job interviews, write projects much faster and score higher in exams because of the ability to acquire additional knowledge. Those who perform well will also be considered for regular jobs at iPleaders when the arrangement expires. We will also be happy to recommend you if you want to work in big law firms and did well in the fellowship. In our anticipation, those who compete the fellowship are likely to increase their chances of success while working in a law firm or in-house legal department in the future by at least 4 times based on their experience at the fellowship.
