“Lawyers as social engineers would be problem solvers in the real world.” – Roscoe Pound
According to Roscoe Pound, a lawyer is one who is calling it is to assist in the administration of justice; in the practical process of promoting and maintaining an ideal relation among men by adjusting their relations and ordering their conduct through an orderly and systematic application of the force of a politically organised society. By social engineer, Roscoe Pound mean, on the analogy of the industrial engineer, one who’s calling it is to make a social process or activity achieve its purpose with a minimum of friction and waste.
Re, to above quote from Roscoe Pound, we could say that, a lawyer being a social engineer working with an NGO or other similar organisation is one of the right ways to serve the public. In this regard, working with an NGO will help him to play the role of a connecting bridge between the law and the society. Common practice in most of the law school that, mostly the first year and second year law students prefers to do internships with NGO’s.
However, the major worry for first year students while applying for the very first internship is that, they are totally new to the legal field and new to the subjects and rarely have any past internship experience. Further, would you prefer to show some experience or internships in your resume prior to applying for a full time internship with an NGO? If so, please feel free to apply for 2 month’s Online Research Internship Program with us.
However, it is essential to note that, you be clear with the objectives or the purpose for which you wish to do an internship with a specific NGO. Therefore, the question here is how to grab an NGO internship for a fresh law student and how to prepare a resume in that regard. Do not worry we have some ready-made resume format for applying for an internship with an NGO.
