I need some advice. I'm interning at a T-3 firm and today on my 1st day I was assigned nothing substantial except for bitchwork like finding guidelines on something or circulars. Now, I have done my fair share of this in my previous internships, but this was interspersed with substantial research prompt giving and legal research which was stimulating and interesting to work on. But this experience has left a bad taste. Are all law firms like this? I'm concerned that if I do nothing in this internship I will end up not getting a better internship for the next cycle. I need help, I am also thinking that maybe it is the practice area that I chosen which is at fault. Please advice on the next steps I should take.
