About LegalWiki
At LegalWiki, our mission is to transform complex legal updates into concise and easy-to-understand insights. We believe that law should not feel intimidating or overly complicated. Whether you are a law student looking to stay updated, a legal professional in need of quick references, or simply someone curious about the legal landscape, our platform makes the law more approachable. By breaking down judgments, amendments, and current legal developments into simplified updates, we ensure that knowledge is not just accessible but also engaging. Our focus is on clarity, accuracy, and making law interesting for a diverse audience.
About the Opportunity
LegalWiki is offering an exciting virtual internship opportunity for students and fresh graduates interested in legal writing and research. The internship requires a minimum commitment of three months, during which interns will gain valuable exposure to the world of legal journalism. While full-time interns are preferred, we also welcome part-time candidates who are available to contribute during morning hours. This internship is particularly suited for individuals passionate about law, current affairs, and legal reporting, as it provides a platform to enhance research, writing, and communication skills while working with a professional team.
Mode of Internship
The internship is conducted entirely online, allowing students from across the country to apply without relocation concerns. Being a virtual opportunity, interns will have the flexibility of working from home while still gaining professional exposure. However, despite the flexibility, interns are expected to be disciplined and committed, as the role requires timely submissions and consistent engagement. Virtual collaboration ensures that interns are equipped with modern digital work practices, making it an excellent opportunity to learn how legal journalism functions in a fast-paced, remote environment.
Roles and Responsibilities
Interns at LegalWiki will actively contribute to the creation of short, accurate, and timely legal updates. The key responsibilities include researching current legal developments, drafting and editing concise news briefs, writing informative articles for our blog, and assisting with managing content for our social media platforms. Since our primary aim is to deliver quick and reliable information, interns are required to meet strict timelines and cannot afford delays. This internship is designed to sharpen research skills, improve writing clarity, and train interns in presenting legal information in a reader-friendly and engaging manner.
Eligibility Criteria
This opportunity is open to law students and recent graduates who demonstrate a strong interest in legal writing and journalism. Candidates must possess excellent research abilities, a flair for clear and concise writing, and a genuine curiosity about legal concepts and developments in the industry. A strong command of English, attention to detail, and the ability to summarise complex judgments or amendments into simple updates are essential qualities. Equally important is the ability to work in a time-bound manner, meeting daily deadlines with accuracy and reliability. Applicants with a proactive mindset and dedication to legal journalism will be given preference.
Stipend
The internship offers a performance-based stipend, designed to reward interns who consistently deliver quality work within deadlines. While the financial aspect is linked to output and dedication, the greater value lies in the hands-on experience and mentorship you will receive during the internship. Interns will not only improve their research and writing skills but also build a professional portfolio of published work that will add credibility to their legal career. This makes the internship an excellent stepping stone for those interested in legal journalism, legal research, or litigation support in the future.
