You can, but just to attorneys that you have been working with. Can just be a simple note and a "I will keep in touch" type of thing. I went with a brief email to each lawyer who I worked with, then to my mentors I also sent update emails at the end of each semester.

Why not just send an office/department wide email thanking everyone for making you feel welcome, etc. include your contact info in case people want to be in touch, then stop by individual offices to shake hands. Pretty standard for departing interns at my job.

Because those are unbelievably forgettable.

Again, depends on the size of the office, but something personal to your actual co-workers/mentor/supervisor is better.
