First Year Summer Internship

Intern — “An advanced student or recent graduate who is apprenticing to gain practical experience before entering a specific profession."

-Black’s Law Dictionary

For this summer, I have the wonderful opportunity of interning with a judge in my hometown.  I’m currently in my fourth week of interning and I really enjoy the work that I am doing, along with the cases I get to observe.  The main types of cases he hears are custody cases, juvenile cases, and alternate courts that focus on rehabilitation, such as veteran’s court.  So, here are some of my tips on how to find a summer internship, to choose the right one for you, and to get the most out of this rewarding experience.

Officially a 2L!

Complete — “Brought to an end.”

-Merriam Webster’s Dictionary

I cannot believe I’m already done with my 1L year of law school!  I hope everyone else had a great end to the school year and a wonderful beginning of your summer.  Now that this semester is over and I’ve finally received my grades for the semester, I thought I’d reflect a little on my first year of law school as a whole.
