making unpaid interns only restricts the (unpaid) opportunities, doesnt increase paid ones unfortunately, so all in all it'd be a net loss
The work without due payment is just exploitative. Supplis come late at night and then interns are put on it. Work is hectic which is fine but without any monetary benefit it’s just free and unfair labour. Motivation to churn out good quality work also dies eventually. At least offices of Judges and Law officers should do better in terms of paying interns for the rest of the legal industry to follow.
