Thanks a lot!

Where you intern will not have much effect on your law school apps. Pick a place where you think you'd fit in best/learn the most from. That way, you can talk about your enriching experience during interviews or throw something that excited you about your work in your personal statement and have it be genuine. Good luck!

I don't see how your undergraduate interning choice between a DA and a private law firm would affect your law school admissions. They may make a difference in your first year summer employment, though.

Keep up that GPA.

Intern where you'll have the best experience and learn the most. Learn stuff that will help you be better at the field of law you are interested in.

Law school apps are a numbers game. Where internship is will not matter.

If I've learned anything this cycle, it's this.

Seems like a good thought. Networking is very important and it's even more important when objective info is scarce (e.g. after one semester of law school). Since your school's rank will have a much larger effect on your career, study like mad for the LSAT. If an internship will prevent this (and I assume you're shooting for testing in June or Oct 2012), I wouldn't take the internship.

Question 1: No. Either one is good for gaining work/real-life experience, but either will only help you very little in terms of admissions. Keep up the great work with your GPA and rock the LSAT and you should have no problem getting into law school.

Question 2: Sorry, I've never heard of that.
