Questions
- Is the internship paid?
- No. It is an unpaid internship. You get a certificate and LOR signed by MPs and advocates, and published bylines for your work.
- Is it remote?
- Yes. All the work is remote, so you can do it from your college or home.
- How much time does it take?
- At least 2 hours a day for 6 months. The form asks how many hours you can give.
- Do I need MUN or debating experience?
- Some debating knowledge helps for the legal role, but you don't need a long list of MUNs. Tell us what you have done, even if it is just one.
- How is this different from the Secretariat?
- The Secretariat runs the event itself. Internships are for law and journalism students who want to use their subject: legal research and drafting, or reporting and writing.
- Who do I contact?
- Write to unnati.uthan@gmail.com.
