We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.

You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.

Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
What exactly is the course of action we should take in such situations? It is easy to say, "just leave the internship", but that is simply not practical. Top-tier internships are crucial for not only bolstering our CVs, but also to learn. Firms can always find people to replace us. Thus, we are left powerless against wanton abuse.
That is disgusting, sorry to hear.
But I don't know why cleaning the cloth SHE has spilled coffee upon is either derogatory or problematic.
Just be tactful on how you deal with these situations and you will be fine!
