Typical Day of a Law Office Intern:

At the start of the workday, all interns gather with their teams to discuss their plan for the day. The team leader will report back to the marketing manager and attorney. Once a week, all interns will meet with the internship coordinator to discuss the progress of their projects and to ask any questions.

After your team meeting, you will get started on the work that was assigned to you by the team leader.
On a rotational basis, interns may work with the paralegal at the front office and “shadow the paralegal” for the day. They gain experience and knowledge on the day-to-day operations of a law firm, whether it’s answering phone calls, drafting documents, and or meeting clients.
Each intern will have their own dedicated workstation during rotation and will meet with the team in the conference room.
