Jaclyn’s Answer

I would recommend internships or summer jobs in a county courthouse, a law firm, or interning for a state or congressional representative. When I was in college, I interned for a congressional representative during a congressional session in the summer and I learned the different ways that bills become laws, including the drafting process.

Another option I would recommend, and wish I personally did, is to take a year off between college and law school and work as a paralegal or some other legal assistant. This gives you connections in the field, a general feel for the work, and a step up on others with respect to the vastly different style of research that is legal research. Law school is incredibly competitive so anything you can do to showcase your interests and talents is beneficial to you in the long run. Good luck!

Matthew’s Answer

100% would try to become a law clerk to a judge or another attorney in the field you want to pursue.

This answer does not create an attorney client relationship, and if you wish to seek further answers please consult another attorney.

Good Luck!
