This clearly didn't get the proper treatment in another thread.

How do firms view a 1L summer internship with something like the world intellectual property organization in Geneva or the International Chamber of Commerce in Paris?

How would you compare them to a federal judicial internship or a big city DA/US attorney internship?

It will set you apart and may prove a good conversation starter, especially if its an international firm with whom you're interviewing. However, don't expect a strictly national firm to care much about your international escapades.

OK, the presumption should be that OL advice is not appreciated unless specifically requested.

You assume my profile is accurate. It is not. Go fuck yourself.

You know what's funny: this comment was in response to the very first useful/on-point post I've ever seen you make.
