One tip for current law students. Get practical experience while in law school. This includes hands on programs or courses and definitely internships. A surprising amount of people have only worked at 1 or 0 law firms by the time they finish law school. They can of course still be very successful, but doing an internship helps learn how to practice law, what practice areas you like, and it looks great because it's work experience.

How did your internship change or reinforce your approach to practicing law? I would say this summer has opened my eyes to a lot of considerations that are not addressed in law school like how much time I should focus on a particular issue and structuring how I approach a problem in a strategic way beforehand to make my efforts more efficient. As his internship concludes, Christian Fricke reflects on how his experience will shape his perspective and guide his future path in the legal profession. https://lnkd.in/gWbX2CPN

If you're in law school, you've probably heard it before - "It's difficult to get an internship at a law firm." But why? Most law firms want to see applicants with experience, but how can young lawyers gain experience without an internship? It's a classic catch-22. But instead of focusing on the length of the internship, let's focus on the quality of what you can do in a short period of time. Interns can provide value to firms by: - Conducting legal research - Drafting legal documents - Assisting attorneys with case management - Communicating with clients These are just a few examples of the ways interns can contribute in a short period of time. This piece of information is for you "law interns" - Don't let the length of an internship discourage you from applying. Focus on the value you can bring to a firm and the skills you can learn from the experience. At the end of the day, it's not necessarily how long you intern, but how you use that time to make an impact.
