What type of internships should a pre-law student do?

law students undergraduate pre-law
Thank you comment icon I work in a corporation, therefore I am not sure of the current practice of law firms. The Company I work for does have summer interns but they are law students. Many law firms have summer associate programs, but again, they are for law students. I recommend that you contact law firms in your area to find out if they have an internship program for undergraduates. If you do not find such programs I recommend that you seek a summer job or part time job of some type with a law firm which will give you a chance to find out more about the practice of law.

I recommend that you search the internet.  I did a brief search and it appears that there are colleges, businesses, public interest entities and government agencies that offer pre-law internships. Here is one site that had information:  https://www.indeed.com/q-Pre-Law-Intern-jobs.html .  If you have an interest in a particular area of law look for internships at places that are involved in that type of law.  Here is another site that has information about public interest internships:  https://studentaffairs.jhu.edu/preprofadvising/pre-law/advising/community/ .  Here is another site that appears to have a lot of good information on pre-law internships: https://lawstudents.findlaw.com/pre-law/pre-law-internships.html.

This will depend on your areas of interest (i.e. corporate, litigation, criminal, etc.). If you aren't sure, then you may try to do a couple of internships. For example, do an internship in a corporate law firm and/or in a law firm that do ligiations, and depending on which you like most you can do more internships in that area.

Hi Rachel,


This will depend on what you are interested in. If you aren't sure, then I would try to do a couple of internships. For example, if you aren't sure if you want to defend or prosecute, then I would try to do an internship at the DA's, as well as, for a law firm. Good luck!
