Ideal Soft for the Summer Before LS Forum

[dsn32]

Is there such a thing? I'm really torn between trying to find some sort of internship in the legal field, studying abroad for a good topic on a PS/diversity statement, or maybe even just volunteering somewhere a ton to look like a saint. Would any of these options be better than the other, or should I just enjoy those last 4 months of "freedom"?

Do you mean would this look good for internships/OCI/post-law school experience? because the summer before law school... you'd already be IN to a law school so how would you use that experience for a PS/DS?!

I suppose I meant summer before apps...... 12-16 months before LS

Ideal soft during the summer you say?

There's plenty of programs where you can volunteer domestically or abroad that would probably give you interesting material for your PS.

But I think if it were me, I'd look for paid work and preferably something with transferable skills (but you can't really develop those in a summer, more like a couple years of work).

If you just want interesting material for a PS, do an interesting internship abroad or get some substantive leadership experience, to the extent you can. I would recommend taking 1-2 years off at a minimum to get a paid job, though.

Appreciate the insight everyone. Unfortunately, working for a few years before school is not in the cards for me, but I do think there is something to be said about getting experience this summer with something that will actually be applicable in the future. And I love the London idea haha.
