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.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
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.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
If your college is funding it, go for it, a trip is worthwhile. Some of most cherished law school memories are of these comps/ trips.
Summer schools are largely useless (except for networking and holidaying).
If you are from a T1 and are largely guaranteed a placement because of your rank, internships won't matter much in the long run. If your internships will play a key role in your impending placement, go for that.
In a nutshell: go for the experience that will matter more 5+ years down the line. For me, if I knew that my professional career was sorted regardless of the internship, I would do the moot, as that is what I would cherish more than a random internship in law school.
