Second, we want to remind you of the Civil and High Tech Internship program. There are many advantages to doing an internship while in law school. First, an internship allows you to get out of the classroom and get real world legal experience. Work experience is incredibly important to employers, and an internship is something you can add to your resume and talk about in interviews. Second, an internship gives you the opportunity to sample a particular type of legal setting before you graduate. For example, there are placements available at law firms, in-house legal departments of major tech companies, government offices, and public interest firms. Third, you will be able to network and form relationships with practicing attorneys. Many supervising attorneys become mentors to their internship students, and these relationships can last long into your legal career.
