Ms. Aashish \u201cMolly\u201d Lakhanpal is also the Vice President of the NLUJ Constituent Assembly and was the Students\u2019 Chief Counsel.<\/em><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Hello, Molly. I\u2019ve had the pleasure of knowing you for the past 2.5 years and there\u2019s so much to you! How would you describe yourself to our readers?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Avoiding a slew of boastful and boring adjectives, I would say I’m just your everyday unassuming girl. I’m an all heart person, am passionate about what I do and like most of our generation, am a little lost. I have a lot of maps and pathways figured out, roads to be traversed, but I don’t know which one to tread on. Currently, I am in my 5th<\/sup> year studying B.A. LL.B. (IPR Hons.) at National Law University, Jodhpur.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. This is a cliched question but, why did you choose law?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      And I have a very cliched response to this question, which is that after I graduate, I will be joining the third generation of lawyers in my family. I have been exposed to law for as long as I can remember. In my opinion, what this kind of exposure does is, that it creates this level of comfort, this natural inclination or interest, that you end up developing because something is around you all the time. That has been a very important factor in me choosing law.<\/p>\n

      In addition to that, I have always been interested in the subject from the point of view of the power that it has over our daily lives. So yes, these have been my motivations for choosing law.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. I remember the first thing I heard about you from people was \u201cRank 1\u201d. Not just that, but you\u2019ve managed to maintain the highest CGPA across batches of NLU Jodhpur. Yet, you\u2019ve been so humble about it that you more or less refuse to talk about it. However, for this interview \u2013 I must insist. How have you succeeded in achieving such a feat and what suggestions do you have for our readers?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        When we started with law school, coming from that CLAT mindset, I saw people around me being very competitive; I would see them go to-and-fro from the library, barely even acknowledging the presence of the person next to them. Then, being constantly told by seniors that because I had taken up the humanities stream (B.A.) instead of a business stream (B.B.A.), it will be harder for me to score as well as them, i.e. the B.B.A. students. Ultimately, there was also this notion in my head that now you\u2019ve come to an NLU, the standard of education will be very high, the standard of what they expect from you will be very high, and you are not used to this competitiveness or this level of education, therefore, you will really have to push yourself hard. All combined, these factors really motivated me to do well.<\/p>\n

        I never thought that I would achieve Rank 1 \u2013 it wasn\u2019t even the aim. The aim was to just, even if not be Rank 1, feel comfortable with whatever I am doing. Like not feel undermined or overwhelmed with what is happening around me. This was the mindset when I started off. From then on, it\u2019s just been a case of holding onto this mindset, being persistent with the effort, and not falling prey to complacency. Also,important is to not be so hard on yourself. There will be a lot of externalities \u2013 you could be doing moots, you could be engaging in a plethora of extra-curricular activities \u2013 and so expecting yourself to do well or as well as you did in the last semester or the last year is just too high a standard to maintain.<\/p>\n

        So, that\u2019s about it. For anyone who aims to be in the top ranks, I would say that this is the mindset that you should have; you really need to see why you want it and then let it drive you. It goes without saying, you will always have to push the boundaries \u2013 you should not be satisfied with what you do or with the precedent that exists before you, because that is something that you can definitely change with your effort over a period of time.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. This one time when I came to you for internship advice. You said something involving travelling and coffee that I can\u2019t wait for our readers to know about. Please do tell them!<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          I’ve not been exclusively academically oriented ever. I get bored easily with things, and so am always looking for new avenues to explore and harder tasks to undertake.<\/p>\n

          This attention deficit led me to learning the piano, being a national level archer and publishing my musings on a blog. But most of all, it led me to travel, from the Himalayas in my backyard to driving through the French Quarters along the Bay of Bengal, nothing has fulfilled me more than travelling. You experience just so much life in each day that you spend travelling, it is almost like fuel to get you through the monotonous college or corporate life.<\/p>\n

          Speaking of fuel, my obsession with coffee has become an identifying characteristic of sorts amongst my peers. It’s not just the caffeine, it’s a companion for life that you’re sure, will make you feel good and pull you through even in the worst of situations. I frequented this Cafe near my place and in my second year I requested them to let me play around with their machine. So instead of learning more about the law that break, I learnt more about my other obsession \u2013 coffee. I learnt about brewing, making lattes, cappuccinos and cortados, the different techniques of brewing and flavour extraction and being terrible at latte art.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. But of course, that\u2019s not it. You have interned at law firms like every other serious law student. Tell us more about that?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            With my internships, I have not actually adhered to the model which most law students follow. I have not interned for the sake of just interning, so it\u2019s not like I have been doing 2 internships every break or something like that. My internships have always been motivated by, let\u2019s say if I want to work on a particular subject matter, if I want to work under a particular lawyer, or I want to be involved in a particular case. So, all of these factors have motivated my internships.<\/p>\n

            Most of my internships have been litigation centric rather than corporate internships because that is what interests me more. Speaking from my experience, it should be a very personal choice, the kind of internships you want to do, or whether you want to intern or not because you are the best judge of what is going to add to you as a person \u2013 the skill or the know-how. Given that you are giving so much of your time, energy and effort to something, it really should be giving you more than just what you would learn staring at a screen, sitting anywhere in the world rather than in a corporate office.<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. It doesn\u2019t come as a surprise that you scored a job that many only dream of. What helped you get there?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              I think again, it really came down to the skill and know-how you\u2019ve acquired over the years, and that can\u2019t only come from doing internships, just for the sake of doing internships. You actually should have learned while you\u2019re at it. I was fortunate enough to, even though be interning in a corporate office, to get the chance to work in a litigation team at Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas & Co., Delhi. And that is when all my experience in my high court internships really bore its fruit and I ended up getting PPO right after this one internship. So again, there was no roadmap to it \u2013 to getting this job. I think, what most law firms look for is a willingness to work with a basic skillset and knowledge of how the system works. If you can maintain a positive headspace throughout your internship and not get bogged down by all the pressures that come with it, you can get the job that you want.<\/p>\n

                \n
              1. I am sure that even the readers have realised by now that you\u2019re one to do things a little differently. Unlike many \u201cmooters\u201d, your start to mooting came when you were about halfway through law school. What has your mooting experience been like?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                One of the first things I learnt after coming to NLU Jodhpur was that mooting was the thing to do. All the great mooters were the stars of the college and if you weren\u2019t mooting, then what were you doing in your college life? And somehow there was also this notion that if you are not good at mooting means that you are lacking in some way \u2013 and this was a notion that I don\u2019t agree with till date. I\u2019ve seen people who have not mooted throughout their law school lives but they\u2019re still brilliant people, who have ended up doing so well in their careers in law. I don\u2019t think mooting or being good at mooting is a proof of excellence or\u00a0 intellect or anything like that.<\/p>\n

                Keeping this notion in mind, I only started mooting in my 3rd<\/sup> year of law school. That was also because one of my seniors insisted that I at least try it. So, the idea is that unlike say debating or quizzing, mooting is something you can only do in law school. So, even though it is not the only thing about law school which is great, or which is important, it is still something which is only there in a law school. So, I don\u2019t think there is any harm in trying your hand at mooting, but whether or not you\u2019re good at mooting should not be a point of judgement on how brilliant you are or how great you are at law.<\/p>\n

                I\u2019ve done one national moot and one international moot till now. I\u2019ve had successful ranks in both of my moots so my overall mooting experience till now has been very positive. At the Foreign Direct Investment International Arbitration Moot, Global Rounds, Stockholm, Sweden held in November 2018, we were adjudged as the Second Highest Ranked Team\u00a0 and awarded the Best Claimant Memorial and 3rd Best Respondent Memorial. The year before that in October 2017, we won the 2nd National Moot Court Competition on Constitutional Law held at Law College Dehradun, Faculty of Uttaranchal University.<\/p>\n

                It has taught me a lot about some essential human skills like teamwork, having a clear head, being patient with the people around you, accepting the fact that things will not always work out in your favour and still managing somehow to make the best of them.<\/p>\n

                Having said this, I don\u2019t think that mooting is essential to having a great law school life, but it does add something. You can say \u201cyes, I have mooted\u201d; \u201cyes, I have tried this thing as well.\u201d And it\u2019s completely fine if you don\u2019t end up liking it or not doing well. It does not take away from anything at all. So, as I would motivate or advise anyone and everyone to try new things, similarly I would advise everyone to try their hand at mooting, but that\u2019s about it \u2013 it\u2019s not the end of the world.<\/p>\n

                  \n
                1. I know we\u2019re nearing the end of your 9th semester. NLUJ continues to teach us outside of classes as well. What would you say have your most important lessons in law school and what would be your recommendations for those still going through it?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                  My NLUJ experience has reinforced my belief that you need to take care of yourself. Yes, having great friends and incessant support from the family helps, but ultimately you yourself have to back yourself. Only you, and no one else knows what you’re exactly going through. So, if you find yourself in an adverse situation, instead of looking for support outside, back yourself and push yourself. It will be hard to stand on your own. But it’s worth a try and while at it, don’t forget to have fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
