1) Many, 10-15 atleast since I was getting work from teams of 2 partners, but had a strong connection with some SA's of one team, so got major work from them. Was even asked to sometimes not take work from others :) got recommended from this team only.
2) Yes, all of my work was from SA's, little from a counsel. Associates rarely gave any work.
3) no, I was exempted from doing the end of internship presentation since was involved in a lot of work. But my team regularly involved me during meetings and consultations with the partner, which helped me a lot in getting noticed by the top person.
4) lot of work. As an intern, I had an average working day of around 10-12 hours on most days. Worked for 4 to 5 hours on a few weekends too. There were days when I had zero work, but those were far and few in between. In this free time, I sampled different types of coffee from their super costly coffee machine xD
1) how many lawyers did you work with?
2) were you getting work from SA's and counsels?
3) was your internship end project a presentation to partner?
4) how much work were you getting? I know it can be quantitfied but how occupied you were?
