SpicyIP is forming a new IP case law team to provide quick summaries of recent IP cases.
Who are we looking for?
We are looking for a total of 3-4 law students/lawyers who can prepare quick summaries of about 3-4 IP orders/judgments each per week for a minimum period of six months. Please note that the process for selection will be a fairly rigorous one, as we are keen to only bring on board those who are very proficient in legal research and writing.

The selected candidates will be paid a stipend for each such case summary prepared by them. They will also be awarded a certificate upon completion of at least six months as part of the team.
How to apply?

Those who have inadvertently missed the deadline due to Diwali celebrations and Bhai Dooj Pooja. Can they submit their applications now?
Though we understand that would be unfair to other participants but considering the extended holidays, the deadline can be shifted a day or two.
Just a suggestion and small appeal.
Look forward to your response.
P.S. Any decision taken in this regard, shall be gracefully accepted.
